Genpower for Tennet Grid Operator
Berg op Zoom
The initial project resulted from the installation of a drilling rig required to implement a high-voltage cable linking the Woensdrecht power station to Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands, the objective being the strengthening of the region's power grid. Due to the proximity of Bergen op Zoom to a Natura 2000 site, Tennet TSO, the local power grid operator, had to find solutions to navigate the challenge of the 'nitrogen impasse'. The fact that they were not allowed to use standard diesel gensets that generate NOx emissions. Consequently, TenneT had to devise alternative solutions to ensure uninterrupted progress on the project. That’s the reason why three 110kVA GEH₂® hydrogen power generators have been set up in parallel to supply up to 265 kVA of zero-emission electricity continuously and recharge all the electric equipment installed on construction sites
The construction sites plus electric machines have been powered continuously for 10 days. The parallelization of 3 GEH2 hydrogen generators of 110kVa of capacity each, with a 250kVa BESS generated a maximum of power output of 494 kVa. In total, the installation did deliver the equivalent of 2,4MWh of electricity and saved up to 24 Tonnes of CO2 release compared to any other set-up usine diesel solutions.
The EODev GEH2® is a hydrogen fuel cell power generator designed to replace diesel or gas gensets in both mobile, prime and emergency standby applications. This generator has zero direct emission, only rejecting water and heat as by-products. No noise, no fumes, no CO2 or fine particles. It was designed to be scalable, efficient and easy to use, and is equipped with the latest generation of hydrogen fuel cells from Toyota, giving it strong reliability and a record life span. It can thus be used in various scenarios, depending on the customers' needs, to provide low carbon electricity to support existing power supply limitations from the grid. Customers comprise all sorts of companies that have temporary power supply needs or emergency power needs.
