Residential microgrid uses advanced automation
to create hydrogen from renewable electricity
Southern California Gas (SoCalGas), a regulated subsidiary of
Sempra (NYSE: SRE), has selected Emerson’s (NYSE: EMR) digital
technologies, software and services to demonstrate the resiliency
and reliability of its new [H2] Innovation Experience in Southern
California. One of the first microgrid projects of its kind in the
United States, the [H2] Innovation Experience is a technology
demonstration that aims to show how carbon-free gas made from
renewable electricity can be used in pure form or as a blend to
fuel clean energy systems of the future.
The project features a nearly 2,000-square-foot home outfitted
with solar panels, a power storage battery system, an electrolyzer
to convert solar energy to renewable hydrogen, and a fuel cell to
supply electricity. The hydrogen, produced at the site, will also
be blended with utility-provided natural gas and used in the home’s
heat pump HVAC unit, water heater, clothes dryer and stove.
“Residential neighborhood-scale facilities, like the [H2]
Innovation Experience, that are capable of generating, storing and
transmitting electricity with zero carbon emissions will be a
critical component for meeting sustainable power demand,” said Neil
Navin, vice president of clean energy innovations at SoCalGas.
“Emerson’s technologies and expertise facilitated a shorter start
up while ensuring the safety and reliability of this demonstration
project.”
According to SoCalGas research, with clean fuels like renewable
natural gas and hydrogen, coupled with carbon management,
California can reach 100% net zero goals more affordably, more
equitably and with less risk of power disruptions, customer
conversion barriers, and technological limitations.
“Balancing energy consumption with available sources requires
sophisticated control and precise measurement,” said Mark Bulanda,
executive president of Emerson’s Automation Solutions business. “We
have worked on a variety of hydrogen projects globally, applying
our expertise and technologies to automate hydrogen production and
consumption, making the promise of renewable energy a reality.”
In addition to deep domain expertise in hydrogen, Emerson
provides its DeltaV™ advanced process control system, safety
instrumented systems, electronic marshalling technology,
instrumentation, final control elements and analytics solutions to
optimize the performance of the SoCalGas [H2] Innovation
Experience.
