What\u2019s unusual here is that as\u00a0<em>Technical Director of Stromnetz Hamburg<\/em>, Mr Volk is responsible for building the charging infrastructure in the Hanseatic city, so really he should be biased towards batteries. However, he believes in a combination: batteries for short distances in the city, but hydrogen for higher performance and long distances.

Da kommt der Ingenieur in mir durch, der diese L\u00f6sung ausgesprochen leidenschaftlich vertritt!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>\n    \nAfter a referendum in 2013, Stromnetz Hamburg became the owner of the distribution grid. It is a 100% municipal company that guarantees a reliable electricity supply in the city: 12.3 billion kilowatt hours for 1.1 million households and companies. Stromnetz Hamburg plans, builds, and operates the distribution grid. And it is building and operating the public charging infrastructure in the Hanseatic city. Almost 900 charging points are now available to battery electric vehicle (BEV) drivers. And yet, alongside 80 gas-powered vehicles and 100 battery-powered cars, three hydrogen cars \u2013 two Toyota Mirai cars, and a Mercedes-Benz GLC F-CELL \u2013 are also used in the Stromnetz Hamburg fleet. Thomas Volk drives the latter. He gained his first experiences with hydrogen two years ago, with a Mirai. At the time, the filling station network was not as extensive as it is today.<br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/h2.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Spiegel-1400x782.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/h2.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Spiegel-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/h2.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Spiegel-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/h2.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Spiegel.jpg 1911w\" src=\"https:\/\/h2.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Spiegel-1400x782.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n    \n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n    \n<h2>On a trip from Hamburg to M\u00fcnster, Volk drove the Mirai beyond the promised range.<\/h2>The hydrogen tank was empty according to the display, but the reserve and buffer battery took him another 20 km to the next filling station. With the Mercedes Benz GLC F-CELL it\u2019s different, says Volk. When it says it\u2019s empty, it really is empty, but you can recharge it for another nearly 40 kilometres by plugging it in at a charging station. \u201cBoth vehicles are really pleasant travel companions \u2013 quiet and relaxed. Really great.\u201d And then he hesitates. \u201cAs a passionate motorcyclist, though, I just can\u2019t imagine using an electric drive on two wheels.

Stromnetz Hamburg is one of the largest municipal operators. To minimise losses during transport, electricity is transmitted from its place of production to the consumer at various voltage levels: high voltages for long distances, low voltages for shorter distances. The conversion between the voltage levels takes place in substations and transformer stations.<\/em><br><br><em>The electricity distribution network in Hamburg has around 29,000 kilometres of power lines. 95 percent of the power cables are laid underground. The current is transformed from high to medium voltage in 54 substations, and then enters the low voltage grid via 7,600 customer and transformer stations.<\/em>\n    \n<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"list_content":"","list_badge":"","info_top_bar_text":"","info_top_bar_active":false},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2713","story","type-story","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
