Self-Sufficient Power Supply - Hydrogen Filling Station

H2 Refuelling Station, Sweden

The refuelling station in the Swedish town of Mariestad supplies fuel cell vehicles with hydrogen. The gas is produced locally in an electrolysis plant that requires a constant flow of energy around the clock. The electricity needed to power the plant is generated by a 150-kW photovoltaic installation. To balance out any fluctuations, a TESVOLT storage system stores all excess energy for later use.

To make up for lower production during the darker winter months, the plant produces a surplus of hydrogen in the summer. This ensures a constant, self-sufficient supply all year round. The refuelling station is part of the Europe-wide network of the Hydrogen Mobility Europe initiative.
