The main purpose of Task 24 was to provide an overview of technologies that have direct influence on development and implementation of systems integrating wind energy with hydrogen production. The Final Report concludes that the wind/hydrogen alternative appears to be an attractive storage option for overcoming a major drawback, the intermittent availability of wind energy, which affects both stand-alone and grid-connected applications. The Final Report was presented for approval at the 68th IEA HIA Executive Committee Meeting March 13-14, 2013 in Paris, France. Wind power evolution in European countries and Japan The impact of high wind energy penetration on power systems Electricity storage systems Technologies: wind; electrolysis; system integration; hydrogen compression and storage; hydrogen to electricity conversion options Categorization of Wind-Hydrogen systems Software simulation tools Evaluation of Wind-Hydrogen System Projects Lessons Learned and Community Perspectives

Task 23’s main objective was to provide a basis for harmonization of technology for on-site hydrogen production from hydrocarbons and renewables. Four sub-objectives were outlined to meet this vision: First, a basis for harmonized capacities of on-site reformer units was developed. Second, the issues related to promotion of widespread on-site reformers were identified and examined. Third, a global market guide for the use of on-site reformers was created. Fourth, the technological links to renewables were described. The report was approved for release at the 68th IEA HIA Executive Committee Meeting March 13-14, 2013 in Paris, France.
