The Project
The 24/7 ZEN project is a 36-month project co-funded by European Union and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation (SERI) which is implemented by 14 partners from academia, research and industry sector.
The main goal of 24/7 ZEN project is to design and develop a high performing 33/100 kW scale rSOC power balancing plant and demonstrate its compatibility with the electricity and gas grids.
Through 24_7 ZEN project, an ecosystem that can be efficiently scaled and replicated to multi-MW scale installations will be developed and validated, and further knowledge on how to improve the performance of rSOC and make them more cost competitive will be generated.
At the end of the project, new and viable scenarios to provide grid balancing and supply green hydrogen will be presented by means of a deep-techno economic analysis.
