Renewable Energy Lab

Room: Q160_TERRAZZA

The laboratory is dedicated to the study and experimental investigation of hydrogen-based technologies and advanced electrochemical energy storage systems for energy applications. The activities include hydrogen production through electrolysis, storage using metal hydride systems, and the electrochemical conversion of hydrogen into electrical energy through fuel cells. In parallel, the laboratory also conducts research and experimental activities on electrochemical energy storage systems (second-life batteries) to study energy management strategies, integration with renewable energy sources, and degradation phenomena.

Main Facilities
  • 23 kW alkaline electrolyser connected to a booster achieving pressures up to 30 bar
  • Two metal hydride hydrogen storage tanks with approximately 3 hours of autonomy
  • PEM fuel cell with 1 kW nominal power
  • 5 kWh second-life batteries coupled with 3 kW inverters
