energy is inseparable from the efficient storage of renewable energy. Energy storage has been one of the biggest technical challenges. Currently, Denmark is building a number of Power-to-X plants, plants that convert green electricity into another form of energy, such as green fuels. These PtX plants aim to promote a green transformation of energy so that wind or solar energy can be stored in other, more durable forms. Near the village of Ramme in West Jutland,
Europe, a project called EUDP is building the world's first dynamic green ammonia plant. The plant is being built by Skovgaard Energy, Topsoe and Vestas, with the participation of ABB.
According to the plan, the construction work of the project is already under way, and production is expected to start in early 2024. "ABB is pleased to be involved in this ground-breaking demonstration project," said Jeppe Skovgaard Bentzen, ABB's division manager. We are providing complete electrical integration for this PtA plant and controlling and managing the entire process. ABB has the expertise and skills required for automation (control and management) of integrated electrical solutions, especially in combination with our own products and other products specifically tailored to customer requirements. ABB is responsible for providing all automation and power distribution in the electrolysis process for this PtA project. The plant,
currently under construction near the village of Ramme, will use its own wind turbine units to generate electricity and will not add to the pressure on the existing power grid. The plant, known as the "Dynamic" plant, will be the first of its kind in the world.
"The dynamic plant is unique in that it can produce green fuels when sunlight and wind are abundant, and reduce production when there is no energy.". This makes them different from other types of PtX plants that are directly connected to the grid and more flexible in adapting to fluctuations in renewable energy. Bentzen added.
In addition to being a heavy transportation fuel, green ammonia can be used as an agricultural fertilizer. Currently, most of the ammonia used in artificial fertilizers is produced using fossil fuels. Data show that about 1% of global carbon dioxide emissions come from traditional ammonia production.
Skovgaard Energy, the developer and owner of the project, is an innovative and visionary investor in the green transition. Skovgaard Energy has wind farms and photovoltaic plants across Denmark. "As a demonstration and development project, we want our partners to understand that nothing is set in stone from the beginning and to make changes from the lessons learned," said Pat A. Han,
the project's technical director. ABB has proved to be such a partner. ABB played an active role from the early stages of the project and contributed positively to the selection of equipment and solutions. He also highlighted ABB's extensive experience in ammonia production processes, which provided a huge advantage during the design and construction phases.
