Xi’an 1908 New Energy’s hundred‑kW‑class wind/solar–electrolysis–hydrogen‑storage–release–power generation system was delivered to Xuji Group at the Shaanxi Hydrogen Energy Quality & Technology Innovation Base. The skid‑mounted unit tightly couples renewable green power with scaled hydrogen production, long‑duration solid‑state hydrogen storage and controllable hydrogen release, and is paired with a 300 kW hydrogen fuel cell for continuous, dispatchable power. Features include full skidding, automated feed and sustained operation; targeted applications are zero‑carbon parks and factories. Project described as China’s first integrated green‑power–green‑hydrogen–green‑energy multi‑coupling deployment and fills a domestic gap in solid‑state storage plus multi‑energy integration.
