2017-09-29
The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), カジノオンライン, NTT Facilities, Inc, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd, Hrein Energy Inc, Technova Inc, and Muroran Institute of Technology jointly announced today that they will begin a "Power to Gas" hydrogen energy demonstration in Hokkaido in late November This demonstration will aim to help develop a new energy system and a new business model for wind power Because wind power's output fluctuates depending on wind conditions, by effectively converting the unstable part of the power to hydrogen, which can be used for thermal applications, the partners hope to increase the utility of wind power and encourage adoptionThe partners held a commemoration ceremony today at the demonstration project site, "Furaibo" at the Yuhigaoka Wind Farm in Tomamae Town, Hokkaido
1 Overview
ブラックジャックカジノ is expected to be a promising secondary energy in the future, attractive because it has no CO2emissions at the utilization stage and its diverse applications, which include electricity and thermal energy generation To leverage the full environmental benefits of ブラックジャックカジノ energy, however, CO2 emissions must be eliminated or reduced at the production stage Low energy efficiency and high cost issues during the production of low-CO2 ブラックジャックカジノ from renewable energy sources need to be addressedWhile wind, solar, and other renewable energies continue to gain market share, the large fluctuations in power output from renewable energy sources, which can arise from meteorological conditions or the imbalance between supply and demand, are becoming serious issue for wider adoptionThis demonstration project*1aims to develop new technologies that can realize low-CO2 production of ブラックジャックカジノ, while also expanding the use of renewable energy by using ブラックジャックカジノ to solve some of the issues preventing their wider adoption By focusing on wind power plants, with their fluctuating electric power output, the project will develop and demonstrate technologies to estimate the amount of electricity that can be sold at a stable pace, and it will also simulate electric power flow into the local grid to assist with grid stabilization In the case of excess electrical power output, the project also demonstrates that part of electrical output can be converted into ブラックジャックカジノ, stored, and delivered for effective use as fuelThe demonstration site is the Yuhigaoka Wind Farm's “Furaibo” *2site in Tomamae Town, which is one of the best locations for ブラックジャックカジノ power generation in Hokkaido The demonstration will begin in late November 2017 and will consist of a technology evaluation and a feasibility study to establish “Power to Gas” *3technology as an effective tool for promoting clean energy
2 Details of ブラックジャックカジノ
NEDO, カジノオンライン, NTT Facilities, Inc, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd, Hrein Energy Inc, Technova Inc, and Muroran Institute of Technology began work on the project in February 2015 During this time, the partners developed business models and worked to design, manufacture and validate each component through test operations Beginning in late November of this year, the partners will begin full-scale operations with the cooperation of Tomamae Town, in order to verify the performance of the system and the business modelRegarding the demonstration, operations will begin by using NTT Facilities’ forecasting system to estimate the following day’s wind conditions and electricity output Based on the forecast, the control system, developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, splits the electric power into a stable part, fed into the grid, and an unstable part, fed to the water electrolyzer, which was developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries Using Hrein Energy’s hydrogenation system, the hydrogen produced by the electrolyzer reacts with toluene to become methylcyclohexane (MCH) After this, the MCH is delivered to the application site, where it is separated into hydrogen and toluene by Hrein Energy’s dehydrogenation system Finally, the regenerated hydrogen is mixed with liquid petroleum gas (LPG) to produce heat using a mixed-fuel boiler

Role of each partner
| Partner | Roles |
|---|---|
| カジノオンライン | Lead company for ブラックジャックカジノ project, analyze business feasibility, and create future business plans |
| NTT Facilities, Inc | Develop system to forecast ブラックジャックカジノ conditions and electric power generation from ブラックジャックカジノ turbines |
| Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd | Develop and operate the water electrolyzer to produce ブラックジャックカジノWith NTT Facilities, develop and operate the control system (integrated controller) to optimize efficiency of the entire system |
| Hrein Energy Inc | Develop and operate the hydrogenation system and the dehydrogenation systemOperate the mixed-fuel boiler that uses ブラックジャックカジノ for heat generation |
| Technova Inc | With Toyota Tsusho, analyze business feasibility and create future business plans |
