As they become more cost-friendly, we could see hydrogen fuel cells deployed in conjunction with a microgrid to produce a viable solution for on-site energy generation at a wide range of mission-critical applications.
Using a modular approach, ABB’s microgrid solutions allow data centers to operate fully off-grid, powered by their own solar or wind generation coupled with battery energy storage systems (BESS), or partially off-grid by utilizing both renewables and power networks.
