China has officially put into operation the "Jupiter I," the world's first 30-megawatt (MW) class, 100% pure hydrogen gas turbine, marking a significant milestone in clean energy technology. The turbine, developed by Mingyang Hydrogen Energy in Inner Mongolia, is designed to generate electricity using only hydrogen, effectively addressing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources.

China has officially put into operation the "Jupiter I," the world's first 30-megawatt (MW) class, 100% pure hydrogen gas turbine, marking a significant milestone in clean energy technology. 
The turbine, developed by Mingyang Hydrogen Energy in Inner Mongolia, is designed to generate electricity using only hydrogen, effectively addressing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. 
Key Performance Specs & Impact
Power Output: -
In combined-cycle mode, the turbine generates 48,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per hour.
Household Capacity: -
This output is sufficient to meet the daily electricity demand of approximately 5,500 households.
Environmental Impact: -
The turbine reduces carbon emissions by over 200,000 tonnes annually compared to a conventional coal-fired thermal generator of the same size.
Efficiency:-
 The unit achieves a 70% thermal efficiency in combined-cycle operation and a 35% "electricity-hydrogen-electricity" conversion efficiency. 
Technological Breakthrough
Unlike turbines that blend hydrogen with natural gas, the Jupiter I is designed for 100% pure hydrogen, which posed significant engineering challenges overcome by Mingyang Group. 
Combustion Technology: The team developed a specialized Micro-premixed Low-Emission (DLE) combustion chamber with 3D-printed nozzles to manage high flame speeds and prevent backfire.
Emission Control: -
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are controlled below 50mg/Nm³, meeting stringent environmental standards.
Operational Role:-
 The turbine acts as a critical component in "power-to-hydrogen-to-power" (P2H2P) systems, storing surplus solar or wind energy as hydrogen and converting it back to electricity during peak demand or low renewable generation. 
This project, located in the Etuoke High-Tech Industrial Development Zone in Ordos City, acts as a national-level demonstration pilot for China's green energy transition.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...
