This laboratory is equipped with advanced renewable energy technologies aimed at research and development. The lab includes:

The facade-integrated photovoltaic (FV) generation system to maximize energy production while minimizing the impact on the overall aesthetics.
The second-life battery storage system uses recycled lithium-ion batteries to store excess energy generated by the FV system. This approach promotes sustainability by giving a second life to batteries that have reached the end of their useful life.
The anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer is employed to produce hydrogen through the electrolysis of water. This technology utilizes an anion exchange membrane, which offers advantages such as high efficiency and improved durability compared to other electrolyzer technologies.
The proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell is utilized to convert hydrogen into electricity with high efficiency. This technology is based on a proton exchange membrane, which allows for fast reaction kinetics and compact system design.
The laboratory features two storage systems: one operating at low pressure (35 barG) and another at high pressure (200 barG). These systems enable the safe storage of hydrogen gas, which can be utilized for various applications, including fuel cell operation or as a feedstock for other purposes.
To facilitate the compression of hydrogen gas, a compression system capable of reaching pressures up to 775 barG is installed. It ensures the efficient storage and transportation of hydrogen, enabling its utilization in different scenarios.
For ensuring the safe operation the lab incorporates hydrogen detection sensors, inverters and programmable logic controllers.
Overall, this laboratory provides a comprehensive research environment for studying and advancing renewable energy technologies, particularly in the areas of solar power generation, hydrogen production through electrolysis, fuel cell utilization, and hydrogen storage and compression.
