In microgrids, Hyto Energy’s metal hydride systems serve as distributed hydrogen storage, balancing renewable energy supply and demand to ensure grid stability. They store hydrogen produced by PEM electrolyzers during peak solar/wind generation, then release it to fuel cells when electricity demand spikes or renewable output drops. Metal hydrides are ideal for microgrids due to their safety (no high pressure), compact size, and ability to operate in diverse climates. In community microgrids, they provide backup power during outages; in industrial microgrids, they support steady hydrogen supply for fuel cells powering machinery. Hyto’s smart controls integrate metal hydrides with microgrid management systems, optimizing charging/discharging based on real-time energy prices and demand, reducing costs and emissions. This makes metal hydrides a cornerstone of resilient, sustainable microgrids.
