Abstract

V prispevku je predstavljen koncept, s katerim želi Ministrstvo za obrambo v okviru projekta Defence RESilience Hub Network in Europe vzpostaviti mrežo energetsko samozadostnih vozlišč v Sloveniji in EU za zmanjšanje energetske odvisnosti vojašnic od zunanjih virov. Matematični model mikroenergetskega sistema vojašnice vključuje več energijskih vektorjev in naprave za njihovo pretvorbo in shranjevanje s poudarkom na vodikovih tehnologijah. Primer vojašnice v Belgiji kaže, da je energetski sistem s sončno in vetrno elektrarno sposoben zagotoviti zadostno količino vodika za transport, sistem pa lahko popolnoma avtonomno obratuje do 30 dni. Hkrati je bil izračunan tudi ogljični odtis vojašnice kot energetskega sistema, ki nakazuje potencialno zmanjšanje vplivov na okolje.

Secondary abstract:	This article presents a concept of establishing a network of energy self-sufficient nodes in Slovenia and the EU, within the Defence RESilience Hub Network in Europe project initiated by the Ministry of Defence of Slovenia (MORS). The goal is to reduce the energy dependence of military facilities on external suppliers. A mathematical model of a military site’s micro-grid incorporates multiple energy vectors and their conversion and storage, with a focus on hydrogen technologies. A case study of a military site in Belgium shows that an energy system with solar and wind power can provide sufficient hydrogen for transportation needs and operate the site autonomously for up to 30 days. Additionally, the carbon footprint of the military base as an energy system was calculated, indicating potential reductions in environmental impacts.
