Page - 64 - in Our Car as Power Plant

64 We can obviously use our fuel cell car as a power plant only when it is not used for driving, when it is parked somewhere. At this parking place we need at least to be able to connect the car to the electricity grid. And if we want to use also the heat and the fresh water that is produced as a waste product, we need to extract the heat and water from the fuel cell and bring this to a heat network and a (drinking) water grid. A logical place to do this, is a place where many cars are parked, a car park! The idea is that we develop a car park where cars are parked automatically. At the parking place the fuel cell in your car will be automatically connected to the electricity grid, a hydrogen grid, a (hot) water grid and a control system. Hydrogen is produced at the gate of the car park from (bio)gas by steam reforming or from electricity by elec- trolysis and will be supplied to the fuel cell. The hydrogen under atmospheric pressure will be directly fed to the fuel cell. The fuel cell converts the hydrogen directly into elec- tricity and hot demineralized water. CAR-PARK POWER PLANT
