Japan: Local Gov't Testing Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems for Energy Self-sufficiency

[nationalize the fed]

Yamanashi Prefectural Enterprise Bureau will introduce three units of a new pure hydrogen-type fuel cell system (0.7kW per unit) to "Yume Solar House Yamanashi," a facility that is powered by renewable energy-derived electricity generated in house on a trial basis and open to the public, in October or November 2016.

With the introduction, the bureau aims to establish a system that can be operated with almost no grid electricity even during nighttime hours.

Yume Solar House Yamanashi is an exhibition facility related to renewable energy and has a peak demand of about 10kW. It is powered by storing electricity generated by a 20kW rooftop solar power generation system and a 1.5kW small hydroelectric generation system using rainwater in three power storage systems: (1) an electric double layer capacitor with a capacity of 3kWh, (2) a lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable battery with a capacity of about 30kWh and (3) a hydrogen production system with a capacity equivalent to about 30kWh. Hydrogen generated by the hydrogen production system is reconverted to electricity by using the fuel cells.

The facility is also connected to a power grid of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. And the final supply-demand balance is controlled by sending (selling) electricity to and receiving (buying) electricity from the grid...snip

日本では、水素がナンバー1であります

1. Actually, nearly all Japanese scientists are aware of the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Anyone who promotes the tired hydrogen scam as a form of energy independence, um, isn't.
