India’s first green hydrogen-based energy storage project to come up in Vizag

Visakhapatnam: NTPC Simhadri plant will develop a standalone fuel cell-based 50 kW microgrid pilot project with green hydrogen production using electrolyzer in Vizag. The project will be India’s first green hydrogen-based energy storage project.NTPC Simhadri Chief General Manager Diwakar Kaushik said they have awarded the Standalone Fuel-Cell based 50kW micro-grid pilot project with hydrogen production using electrolyzer to Bloom Energy India Private Limited-Bengaluru. The hydrogen would be produced using the advanced 240kW solid oxide electrolyzer by taking input power from the nearby floating solar project. The hydrogen produced during sunshine hours would be stored at high pressure and would be electrified using a 50kW solid oxide fuel cell. The system would work in a standalone mode.Through the project, NTPC is looking to further strengthen its footprint in green and clean fuel….
