Toshiba’s autonome waterstofenergiesysteem H2One™ levert vanaf nu elektriciteit aan JR-station in Japan
TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) heeft vandaag bekendgemaakt dat zijn autonome waterstofenergiesysteem H2One™ vanaf nu in werking is gesteld in het station Musashi-Mizonokuchi van de JR-spoorlijn Nambu in de Japanse stad Kawasaki. Het systeem – bedoeld voor de continuïteit van bedrijfsactiviteiten – is zodanig ontworpen dat normale, dagelijkse processen doorgang vinden als een ramp elektriciteitsuitval veroorzaakt.
In noodsituaties levert H2One™ onafgebroken en onafhankelijk van het net elektriciteit, zodat bepaalde delen en toiletten van het station verlicht blijven. In normale situaties produceert het systeem waterstof en genereert het elektriciteit, wat verbruik van het lichtnet verlaagt. In de winter pompt het systeem warm water door bankjes, zodat deze verwarmd blijven. Toshiba’s managementsysteem H2EMS™ zorgt voor optimale controle over de algehele activiteiten, inclusief waterstofproductie, energieopwekking en opslag.

In emergencies, the H2One™ will provide uninterrupted, off-grid energy supply to light part of the station concourse and its lavatories. At other times, the system produces hydrogen and generates electricity, lowering consumption of mains electricity. In winter, hot water it produces will be circulated though benches at the station to warm them. Toshiba’s H2EMS™ management system provides optimal control of overall operation, including hydrogen production and power generation and storage. Commenting on the start of operation, Hiroyuki Ota, Project Manager, New Energy Solutions Project Team of Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Company said: “I am delighted that we have installed an H2One™ at a train station for the first time. I am sure use of the BCP H2One™ will save energy and raise environmental awareness among passengers using the station. Our goal is to help realize a low carbon economy where CO2-free electricity from hydrogen is widely used.” Toshiba has already delivered an H2One™ BCP model to the Kawasaki Marien public facility and Higashi-Ogishima-Naka Park in the Kawasaki Port area, and to an artificial island and pier in the Port of Yokohama.
