Thanks to Panasonic I can dream of a world that every factory uses a RE100 solution to power their business activities!
They planned to build an “RE100 solution” that supplies 100% of the electricity consumed in business activities from renewable sources by using an in-house power generation system combining pure hydrogen fuel cell generators and photovoltaic generators.
The power generated with this system supplies the entire power used in manufacturing departments of the fuel cell factory located within the Kusatsu site. In parallel, Panasonic will develop and verify technologies related to the optimal power supply and demand management based on integrated control of the power generators and the storage battery system.
By combining the pure hydrogen fuel cell generators, photovoltaic generators, and storage batteries, they want to solve the problem that current installations requires a large installation area and is susceptible to weather conditions, resulting in unstable power generation.
In addition this will enable the construction of an in-house power generation system in a limited space, such as on the roof of a factory, to supply efficient and stable electricity for business activities. Really amazing!
