Figure 1: Scheme of a future energy system based on hydrogen as mean storage.
A modern energy system based on renewable energy like wind and solar power inevitably needs a storage system to provide energy on demand. Figure 1: Scheme of a future energy system based on hydrogen as mean storage. Hydrogen is a promising candidate for this task. For the re-conversion of the valuable fuel hydrogen to electricity a power plant of highest efficiency is needed. In order to support the transition to a renewable energy system the Institute for Thermal Turbomachinery and Machine Dynamics has been working on innovative highly-efficient power cycles fuelled with hydrogen and oxygen as well as on the modelling and improvement of solar and wind technology. In order to counteract the threatening climate change most countries regard it as virtually self-evident that they must concentrate on the development of renewable energy resources as wind and solar power. Due to the fluctuating nature of solar and wind power a storage system is also inevitable for land-based electricity generation by renewable energy in order to provide energy at the times of demand.
