  1. ARMINES - Ecole des Mines de Paris • 1600 people on 4 sites : Paris, Évry, Fontainebleau, Sophia Antipolis 600 permanent staff, 1000 students (22% from abroad) Civil engineer (120 / year) : Paris PhD and Masters (330 /year) : On all sites • 19 research centres

  2. Centre d’EnergétiqueSophia Antipolis • 52 people, as follows : • 23 senior researchers • 8 technical et administrative people • 21 PhDs • Budget is 2.7 M€ of which 1.5 M€ contracts • Research Activities at Sophia Antipolis • Renewable energies • Storage and conversion of energy • Materials elaboration • Plasma conversion • Remote sensing

  3. DG Research Activities • Evaluation and prediction : • solar resource • wind resource • load forecasting Planning tools (SIG) Distributed Generation Poly energy systems based on RE : - PV/diesel - Wind/diesel - PV/EL/FC Fuel cell Storage technologies

  4. Focuss on 2 "H2" projects 1 – Medium term research : EPACOP Smal scale FC/CHP 2 – Long term research : PVFCSys PV/Hydroliser/FC systems

  5. Fuel cell for cogeneration 1 – EPACOP ADEME, CSTB CENERG, LSGC, GREEN, LEMTA 5 demonstrations plants: Nancy, Dunkerque (2), Limoges, Sophia

  6. 1 – EPACOP • Objectives : • Technology validation • Behaviour over the life cycle of the systems • Technical and economical evaluation Charcteristics : 4 kWe 5.5 kWth HW temp : 60 °C Noise level : 70 dB

  7. 1 – EPACOP Actual Results • WHAT IS TO CONCLUDE ? • The small FC technology is not today ready for the market • Technology will improve • Costs will decrease (when ? How much ?) • Not fot the short term • Monitoring of the 5 systems • Efficiencies : Elec : 18 % Therm : 38 % Global : 50 % • Analysis : • Lack of reliability • Influence of non nominal working conditions • Systems far from maturity • Efficiencies too low, but numerous ways to improve them • Not replicable to smaller scale

  8. 2 – PVFCSYS European Project (ERK-CT1999-00017) • Two demonstrations: • test bench at Sophia Antipolis (CENERG, F) • Pilot site at Agrate (ST, I) • Web site: http://pvfcsys.cma.fr

  9. 2 – PVFCSYS Principle

  10. 2 – PVFCSYS Test bench – Sophia Antipolis H2 O2 4 kW PEM FC Denora 3,6 kW alkaline EL Hydrogen systems 400 l hydrogen at 10 bar 200 l oxygen at 10 bar

  11. 2 – PVFCSYS Pilot site – Agrate 2 kW PEM FC Axane 3,6 kW PV Phowatt 3,4 kW alkaline EL Hydrogen systems 4 m3 Hydrogen at 10 bar Connected to the Hydrogen network

  12. 2 – PVFCSYS Web monitoring • Hourly values available each day : • Irradiation • PV array output • Power delivered to the electroliser • Power delivered by the fuel cell • Load • WHAT IS TO CONCLUDE ? • The two systems exist, they produce hydrogen and kWh's • "Infinite" number of technological problems : a huge potential for improvements • The question of costs is not to be considered at the moment

  13. Other research activities :Integration • Modelling of massive distributed generation on LV lines (load flow) • Decision aid tools for RE systems integration (using GIS platforms) • European projects : • Dispower • Microgrids • Anemos • Respire • …
