Pre Cooling Hydrogen for DC Power Cables

Helium-cooled and hydrogen-cooled superconducting power transmission lines are shown to be economically competitive and offer lower unit·transmission costs than conventional underground power lines. Læs her: Economics of cryocables

DC superconducting power cables operate at temperatures lower than the freezing point of liquid hydrogen. Therefore, Hydrogen are pre-cooled using a flow of cooled helium gas. read: Stirling Cryogenics Closed Loop Cooling

Hydrogen is stored at cryogenic temperatures and under a minimum hydrogen pressure of 250-350 bar.

In the HVDCBATTERY structure, the hydrogen pressure is increased to 700 bar when filling from wind farms and the charging stations that are in the HVDCBATTERY module. but is lowered to 350 bar at tapping stations and delivery to industry.

The volume mass density of hydrogen

Hydrogen has several remarkable properties. It stores in liquid form enormous amounts of energy, has a boiling point as low as -252.9 °C, and differs significantly from most other fuels and energy carriers in terms of energy density.
