SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPLYING AN ENERGY GRID WITH ENERGY FROM AN INTERMITTENT RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE

摘要

The invention makes use of renewable energy generated by a windfarm or other renewables. The renewable energy can be used to supply energy to a local or national energy grid. However, according to the invention at least a part of the renewable energy can be stored by using the energy to generate Hydrogen and Nitrogen. Hydrogen and Nitrogen are subsequently converted into Ammonia which is stored to be available for an Ammonia gas turbine. The gas turbine combusts Ammonia to generate energy for an energy grid. A main control unit is configured to simultaneously reduce the generation of Ammonia and increase the generation of energy during periods of low renewable energy input and to simultaneously increase the generation of Ammonia and reduce the generation of energy during periods of high renewable energy input.
