    Energy Waste of Standby Consumption in Off-Peak Hours: Harnessing Green Hydrogen from Electricity in the Industrial Park in Paraná
    (Inglés I. Universidad Tecnológica Nacional. Facultad Regional Paraná, 2024) Mancipar, Leandro; Plouchouk, Brian
    Summary— This project is based in the city of Paraná, which is the capital of Entre Rios province. It focuses on the General Belgrano Industrial Park, which is an important source of jobs for the population of Paraná. This industrial park faces a significant challenge during off-peak hours when industrial operations halt and electricity consumption is minimal. This is because the industrial sector's need for continuous 24/7 electricity, even during non-working hours, lead to standby power consumption. The purpose of this work is to address the problem of energy optimization in off-peak hours. It also describes and analyzes a solution by means of harnessing green hydrogen to store electricity. To achieve this purpose, firstly, this project is going to describe General Belgrano Industrial Park, the area where the problem is located. Secondly, it is going to present the problem of standby consumption and energy waste in the industry sector along with photos that help picture this issue. Thirdly, this project is going to identify the factors that give rise to the problem, and the consequences that derive from it. Lastly, this work is going to state a solution based on the use of hydrogen batteries and the process of electrolysis, as well as its strengths and weaknesses. This project is expected to contribute to the analysis of engineering solutions to energy waste of standby consumption in off-peak hours in the industry.
