Abstract

This paper presents a concept of a zero-energy system for powering a single-family house based on a PV system, an electrolyser, a hydrogen gas storage, a fuel cell and a heat pump. Estimated is the demand for electricity and thermal energy consumed in a house inhabited by 3 people and a usable area of 80 m2. The investment costs of the installation were estimated based on the commercially available offer.
