After more than two and a half years of work, the 560kWc photovoltaic power plant was connected to an innovative energy storage system developed by AREVA, made of an electrolyzer, hydrogen and oxygen reserves, and a fuel cell.

MYRTE energy storage platform aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a solar energy storage solution using hydrogen technologies to mitigate the fluctuations of solar power generation, and contribute to securing Corsica’s power grid.

H&ES BU vice president Jerome Gosset said the MYRTE platform allows us to get out of the laboratory and test our technology in a real environment.
