Abstract

Cette invention concerne un système de stockage d'énergie régénérable qui peut stocker et délivrer une énergie régénérable à une efficacité élevée tout en tenant compte des variations quantitatives de ladite énergie régénérable. Le système de stockage d'énergie régénérable (100) selon l'invention stocke une énergie régénérable et comprend : un moyen de génération de courant (1) qui convertit l'énergie régénérable en énergie électrique; un moyen de production d'hydrogène (2) conçu de façon qu'une pluralité de dispositifs générant de l'hydrogène (2) qui produisent du gaz hydrogène à l'aide de cette énergie électrique soient reliés par des tuyaux; une cuve tampon (3) qui accroît la pureté du gaz hydrogène produit par les moyens de production d'hydrogène (2); un moyen d'hydrogénation (4) qui ajoute le gaz hydrogène provenant de la cuve tampon (3) à un hydrocarbure insaturé; un moyen de commutation (7) qui commute la configuration de raccordement des dispositifs de production d'hydrogène (2); et un contrôleur (8) qui commande le moyen de commutation (7). Les tuyaux reliant la pluralité de dispositifs de production d'hydrogène (2) et la cuve tampon (3) sont en outre équipés de mécanismes anti-retour (9) qui empêchent le gaz hydrogène qui est produit de retourner à contre-courant dans le moyen de production d'hydrogène (2).
