For badenovaNETZE, the infrastructure subsidiary of badenova, which is also the hydrogen driver in the southwest, a technical basis for hydrogen storage along the High Rhine is being developed as part of a concept study. The aim is to ensure the operation of a regional stand-alone grid via stationary storage systems.
The BERNARD Gruppe was commissioned to prepare technical reports on noise and vibration. The focus is on an above-ground storage solution using pressure tanks, supplemented by the investigation of an alternative tube storage variant. Both variants are technically evaluated with the aim of considering operational requirements, approvability and cost efficiency at an early stage. The scope of services covers all relevant specialist topics in the early planning phase: from basic evaluation, component selection and system design to safety-related considerations and cost estimates. The aim of the storage pressure analysis is to determine the optimum storage pressure for the case.
With the concept study, the BERNARD Gruppe is laying the foundations for sound decision-making on a strategically important infrastructure project. The project contributes to the sustainable hydrogen strategy for decarbonizing the regional energy supply on the High Rhine.
