SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOAD BALANCING OF INTERMITTENT RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR AN ELECTRICITY GRID

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 provided to an Ammonia gas turbine. The gas turbine combusts Ammonia to generate energy for an energy grid. A Hydrogen injection system extracts a portion of available Hydrogen form a suitable stage of the system and adds the extracted Hydrogen portion to the Ammonia gas stream provided to the gas turbine. Thus, the combustion properties are improved, resulting in a more efficient and cleaner burning process.
