The microgrid has creative demand side management of variable renewable energy. “During periods of high wind, power surpluses will produce hydrogen [via electrolysis of water], which will be stored in compressed gas tanks. When the local power grid for the mine needs additional energy, the hydrogen will be used as fuel.”
