Innovation Grid

Purpose: Development of a hybrid photovoltaic experimental plant (ground and floating) with H2V storage and batteries.

Objectives

Study of the synergy between hydroelectric and solar generation, as well as energy stored in batteries and hydrogen.

Key Results

  • Technical: Hydrogen production and storage pilot plant (TRL 7)
  • Strategic: H2V business intelligence
  • Economic: H2V production infrastructure / Request to register the intellectual property of the model for the 2nd generation of the floating structure with Brazilian technology was filed with the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) under Process BR 10 2021 002539 5
