CT: The objective of the communication is to show the possibilities for an aeolian generator when (it is) generating energy. One option is (will be) injecting the energy directly to the network and the other one is to produce hydrogen to store the energy.
After that this hydrogen will be used in fuel batteries to produce electricity.
The obtained hydrogen from conventional energies has a high ecological cost by the polluting gases discharge to the
atmosphere. These gases produce serious damages in our surroundings, as the greenhouse effect and acid rain are
examples of this.
The hydrogen is considered a clean energy, when non-polluting energies are used to produce it. For example the renewable energies. In this case it is denominated green hydrogen. An option with promising future seems to be the production of hydrogen, with the energy generated in photovoltaic panels and aeolian generators.
