hZERPh is a business-led, industrial research project, demonstrating significant innovation in the area of clean energy generation, storage and delivery of reliable power in developing countries with main focus on Nigeria.It will focus on the development and subsequent demonstration of an innovative AI software operated modular Plug and Play energy storage unit, that stores renewable energy on demand, in the form of safe, unpressurised solid-state hydrogen. The hydrogen can then be used to provide reliable & clean energy for long durations (\>8h) in isolated and remote locations with poor or no connection to the grid. We propose the creation of a plug and play unit (PnP) for off-grid energy storage that stores excess power from solar panels and/or wind energy in the form of hydrogen through the utilisation of new patented safe solid-state hydrogen technology that can be brought close to the user due its safe nature (1% of the pressure in 700bar traditional compressed hydrogen storage cylinders).This will allow access to power around-the-clock and keep vital services and operations running.To demonstrate and analyse the feasibility of this system and inform future scaling decisions, we intend to design a product feasibility for "smart" off-grid storage units and simulate their operation using real-world energy consumption data collected from a Nigerian hospital. With this simulation in place, we will be able to understand vital metrics like ROI, potential bill savings, electricity-access time, changes in ability to perform vital operational functions (medical operations, examinations, etc.), emissions reductions and more in the context of a potential full-scale implementation. Furthermore, we will be able to determine the viability of the proposed energy storage unit as an effective commercial solution; Nigeria as potential target market, and hospitals as a prioritised customer segment as we bring the energy storage system to market. By harnessing renewable energy, hydrogen systems, and H2Go Power's innovative modular storage technology, all of the above use-cases are both disruptive and game-changing, with hZERPh being deployed to displace existing emitting and polluting diesel generators.H2GO Power will evaluate commercial scale-up opportunities and volume manufacturing of its the already certified solid-state hydrogen storage reactors, as well as adapting and exploiting this approach for other industries, sectors and markets. Successful implementation and follow-up scaling of hZERPh will enable the continued penetration of renewable energy in the developing world, facilitate energy access through leapfrogging on building infrastructure and reduce dependency on emitting and polluting diesel.

hZERPh是一个以商业为主导的工业研究项目，展示了发展中国家清洁能源发电，存储和可靠电力输送领域的重大创新，主要关注尼日利亚。它将专注于开发和随后演示创新的人工智能软件操作的模块化即插即用储能单元，该单元以安全，未加压的固态氢。然后，氢气可以用于在与电网连接不良或没有连接的孤立和偏远地区提供长时间（> 8小时）的可靠和清洁能源。我们建议创建一个即插即用单元（PIPE）用于离网能量存储，通过利用新的专利安全固态氢技术，以氢的形式存储来自太阳能电池板和/或风能的多余电力，由于其安全性，可以接近用户（700巴传统压缩储氢气瓶压力的1%）。这将允许在计时并保持重要服务和运营的运行。为了演示和分析该系统的可行性，并为未来的扩展决策提供信息，我们打算为“智能”离网存储单元设计产品可行性，并使用从尼日利亚医院收集的真实能耗数据模拟其操作。有了这个模拟，我们将能够了解重要的指标，如投资回报率，潜在的账单节省，电力接入时间，执行重要操作功能（医疗操作，检查等）的能力变化，在可能全面实施的背景下，减少排放量和更多。此外，我们将能够确定拟议储能装置作为有效商业解决方案的可行性;尼日利亚作为潜在目标市场，医院作为我们将储能系统推向市场的优先客户群。通过利用可再生能源，氢气系统和H2 Go Power的创新模块化存储技术，所有上述用例都是颠覆性的和改变游戏规则的，hZERPh被部署来取代现有的排放和污染柴油发电机。H2 GO Power将评估其已经认证的固态储氢反应堆的商业规模扩大机会和批量制造，以及将这一方法应用于其他行业、部门和市场。hZERPh的成功实施和后续扩展将使可再生能源继续渗透到发展中国家，通过跨越式建设基础设施促进能源获取，并减少对排放和污染柴油的依赖。
