System for autonomous provision of electricity over hydrogen during disaster, transfers hydrogen from second chemical reactor to plant or machine for conversion of hydrogen into electrical energy that is delivered to point of use
Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
This patent describes a system that autonomously generates and stores hydrogen using renewable energy, especially during disasters. The hydrogen is stored in a chemical substrate, released when needed, and then converted into electricity for immediate use. This enables reliable, off-grid electricity supply when conventional power sources are disrupted.
Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
- Emergency power supply for hospitals, shelters, or first responders during natural disasters
- Backup electricity provisioning for isolated or remote facilities
- Grid-independent renewable energy storage and delivery systems
- Military field operations or mobile command centers
- Critical infrastructure support (e.g., communications, water supply) during blackouts
BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
- Enables continuous electricity supply during disasters when grid power is unavailable
- Utilizes renewable energy sources, promoting clean energy solutions
- Efficient hydrogen storage and release mechanisms enhance safety and portability
- Provides autonomous operation without dependence on external fuel supplies
- Flexible deployment in various locations and scenarios

Patent Abstract
The system produces hydrogen from water (9) using power from renewable energy source (1). The hydrogen is transferred to first chemical reactor (3) with substrate. The partially hydrogenated substrate is transferred from first chemical reactor to storage tank (6), and then transferred to second chemical reactor (5) in which partially hydrogenated substrate is de-hydrogenated by release of hydrogen. The hydrogen from second chemical reactor is transferred to plant or machine e.g. turbine for conversion of hydrogen into electrical energy (7) that is delivered to point of use (8). An independent claim is included for a method for autonomous provision of electricity over hydrogen.
