A MODULAR POWER STATION FOR THE PRODUCTION PRIMARILY OF HYDROGEN FROM SOLAR ENERGY AND A METHOD OF GENERATING ELECTRIC ENERGY

摘要

A modular power station for the production primarily of hydrogen from solar energy. The basic construction includes: a conversion module (1) for converting solar energy into biomass, a gasification module (2) in the form of a gasification reactor for gasifying the biomass, a storage module (3) in which the hydrogen is stored. The conversion module comprises a unit (4) for harvesting the biomass and a processing unit (5) for processing the biomass to form a gasification pre-product. The gasification module is connected to the processor unit (5) via a loading device (6). The storage module (3) is connected to the gasification module (2) by a fuel gas purification means (8). The gasification module output is so adapted to the plant capacity that a part-stream of the fuel gas can be used for water-vapour generation and another part-stream and/or waste heat of the modular power station can be used for drying the harvested biomass. A method of generating electric energy on the basis of a modular power station of this kind is also indicated.
