  • Green military site supporting public hydrogen mobility [Elektronski vir]
    Mori, Mitja ...
    To support the energy transition in the defence sector, transport, and power generation sector at the local level simultaneously, a detailed virtual analysis was conducted with an aim to convert ... military sites from a conventional consumer of external energy vectors to an energy positive hub and at the same time ensure independent operation in case of emergency circumstances. This was achieved by coupling of green energy sources, where geographic conditions favour solar energy, and zero emission storage devices with the main energy storage being hydrogen, which is supported by the batteries. This approach enables multiple shifts of paradigms: a) development of a stand-alone green energy system for military sites, b) converting military sites to energy positive hub for powering military and civil vehicles with green energy vectors (cumulative on-site production of electricity and hydrogen exceeds the electricity consumption by over 50 %), c) achieving autonomous energy operation for several days or weeks depending on the sizing of the system and concept of operation (with normal energy consumption the site can be autonomous for 30 straight days during 60 % of the year and with some reduction in energy consumption 30 day autonomous operation can be achieved throughout the entire year), and d) achieving, on the yearly basis, low or in some cases net negative carbon footprint of military barracks including support of the mobility sector (carbon footprint can be reduced by as much as 70% with respect to grey H2 production). Such an approach ensures higher robustness of energy supply and storage, construction of hydrogen mobility infrastructure, and the support of local communities through green hydrogen production.
