Abstract
The Digi-HyPro (Digitalized Hydrogen Process Chain for the Energy Transition) project's conceptual development of the SET-Unit investigates and facilitates the connection between the electric, gas, and mobility grid. This application report describes the experimental design of the Smart Energy Transition unit (SET-Unit), contemplating the bottom-up and top-down approaches. For the bottom-up approach, the design of core devices such as metal hydride-based hydrogen storage (MHS) and compressor (MHC) systems are shown. The gas separation system (GSS) concept is based on a hybrid process composed of membrane and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) for the gas grid coupling. Commercial anion exchange membrane electrolyzer (AEM-EL) and polymer exchange membrane fuel cell (PEM-FC) are assembled for the power grid connection. For the top-down approach, the first experimental SET-Unit composed of AEM-EL–MHS–PEM-FC in the nominal power range between 5 and 10 kWel and its control strategy for the optimal hydrogen and heat coupling is presented. All experimental development is carried out in the facilities of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon in the frame of a cooperation agreement with the Helmut Schmidt University/University of the Federal Armed Forces.
