Siemens Gamesa’s Brande Hydrogen project couples an existing onshore 3 MW wind turbine with a Green Hydrogen Systems electrolyzer stack, with the possibility to produce green hydrogen in ‘island mode’, that is, without any connection to the grid. The green hydrogen fuel produced is then distributed by Danish company Everfuel to power Copenhagen’s fuel cell taxi fleet. Siemens Gamesa is also using the project to explore whether integrating new battery technology as an upgrade to the co-located turbine and electrolyzer can contribute to grid stability and help address issues around the variability of wind. The battery, turbine and electrolyzer setup has the potential to enable the production of industrial-scale volumes of green hydrogen in the near term and innovations and learnings from the test site will be utilized to build use cases for larger-scale green hydrogen production.
