H2BASE hydrogen part for smart city puzzle HYDROGEN IS NO LONGER A TECHNOLOGY OF A DISTANT FUTURE. IT IS THE YEAR 2021, THE SMART CITY HAS JUST ACQUIRED H2BASE, THE ISLAND‘S HYDROGEN SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY AND HEAT. IT IS EMISSION-FREE, MOBILE, WITH A LARGE CAPACITY AND MARKED WITH THE LABEL „MADE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC“. IT PRODUCES ENERGY FROM HYDROGEN, ONLY PURE WATER DRIPS FROM THE EXHAUST. IT ECOLOGICALLY DRIVES ANYTHING ELECTRIC AND RECHARGES THE ELECTRIC CAR.
THURSDAY The H2BASE device is transported to the site of another need - due to the planned shutdown, the wastewater treatment plant technology was disconnected from electricity. Thanks to the operation of this hydrogen generator, it is not necessary to interrupt the processes in the technology.
FRIDAY MONDAY It is December 6, 2021, and the H2BASE system has been supplying the road closures with electricity and heat for four days. The highway pass must be completed on time. In this dry weather, the emission-free island facility illuminates the construction site, powers the power tools, and heats the building‘s facilities.
TUESDAY Freezer facility in a nearby industrial area have applied for a loan of the green
energy source H2BASE. They need to bridge the transition to a new technology. The potential outage would have caused large losses on frozen commodities.
WEDNESDAY As every Wednesday, the H2BASE is in the parking lot in front of the town hall. Such a quick charger for a test with a fixed schedule, so that electric motorists can count on it on their way to the centre. It appears here regularly to obtain statistical data and to reveal possible problems before building a stationary charging station.
The H2BASE device is operated in pilot mode of a mobile charging station for electric vehicles. Through the CarEn application, anyone interested in recharging their car can call an off-road mobile quick charger directly to their car. The set is loaded on a set of cars up to 3.5 t and handles individual „customers“ according to an algorithm with the priority of minimizing service time. Thanks to the mobile charging station, one parked and completely discharged electric car in the city centre can also be recharged. Next Friday will be more challenging - the city is holding a conference and during the pro-
