Abstract

The energy demand in remote rural areas can be satisfied in a competitive manner with the use of renewable energy sources. In the present case, the energy required by Viñas del Vero S.A., a winery in Barbastro, Spain, will be supplied by the production from a photovoltaic panel array. The overall idea is to hydrolyze on-site available water using the exceeding electrical energy, and to store the generated hydrogen in pressurized tanks. In this project, the end-user consists of a PEM fuel cell system in a commercial electric agricultural vehicle properly modified to be powered with a hybrid powertrain formed by the PEM fuel cell and gel-type batteries. This work describes the design and initial testing of this fully operational small-scale demonstrator.
