Crosswind to trial a number of solutions for intermittent wind power generation
Shell-Eneco JV taps Ballard for fuel-cell energy storage
The company will provide a 1MW dispatchable fuel-cell power system integrated into the Hollandse Kust Noord offshore windfarm
Crosswind, a joint venture between Shell and Dutch energy firm Eneco, has ordered a 1MW dispatchable fuel-cell power system from Ballard for integration into its 759MW Hollandse Kust Noord offshore windfarm. Crosswind plans to trial a number of methods to manage the intermittent electricity generation at the windfarm, including a floating solar park, short-term battery storage and green hydrogen produced from wind-powered electrolysis. 2024 – Ballard fuel-cell power system to be installed “In Crosswind, we are committed to demonstrate baseload power on a megawatt-scale for a single full-scale wind turbine generator. We will introduce, for the first time, an offshore combination of ba
