NOI Techpark

At noon in summer the campus harvests more sunlight than it can use. Instead of wasting that abundance, the site captures the surplus and sends it to an electrolyser that quietly makes green hydrogen. The hydrogen is stored on site, not just for the evening but for the season ahead. As summer days roll by the tanks fill like a reservoir of sunshine, ready for the moments when production dips and demand remains.

When night falls, the Nedstack PEM fuel cell in the 120 kilowatt class supplies electricity from the stored hydrogen. The system also recovers heat for building . Power quality and continuity are maintained, and the only byproduct is water.

Store the sun in the summer, use it in the winter.

In winter the system uses hydrogen that was produced during summer periods. Shorter days and lower solar yield are balanced by converting stored hydrogen into electricity and useful heat. The installation is designed for a mixed use environment. Hydrogen storage is monitored, detection and ventilation are integrated, and controls are linked to the building management system. Campus controls optimize when to store and when to dispatch. The system bridges midday to night and summer to winter with firm low carbon power and heat.

Strategic takeaways

Hydrogen power at NOI Techpark demonstrates how surplus solar can be stored and dispatched as firm electricity and heat, day and night and across seasons. The PEM fuel cell delivers stable, zero-carbon power with heat recovery for higher overall efficiency, while integrated safety and controls make it suitable for smal to big campuses. Providing a replicable model for business parks and public sites aiming to decarbonize backup and peak demand without local emissions.
