Abstract
A system and method for load balancing of intermittent renewable energy for an electricity grid includes a production unit for producing Hydrogen and Nitrogen, a mixing unit to receive and mix the Hydrogen and the Nitrogen, an Ammonia source for receiving and processing the Hydrogen-Nitrogen mixture, an Ammonia power generator for generating energy for the energy grid, a Hydrogen injection system for extracting a Hydrogen portion from a stage of the system and for adding extracted Hydrogen to the gas stream to be provided to the Ammonia power generator, and a Hydrogen control system for controlling a flow rate of Hydrogen from the Hydrogen injection system to the gas stream to be provided to the Ammonia power generator, the flow rate determined in accordance with a data set which contains information about actual working conditions of the Ammonia power generator and which is received by the Hydrogen control system.
