Zusammenfassung:A system for efficient conversion and provision of electrical energy, wherein supplied electrical current is converted into hydrogen in an electrolyzer and optionally temporarily stored in hydrogen storage. The hydrogen is converted into electrical current in a conversion stage in which offgas containing water in vapor form is emitted. The offgas is cooled using a heat pump to obtain condensate which is supplied to the electrolyzer as feed water. As a result, a supplied electrical current is decoupled from generated electrical current, wherein utilization of the process heat provided by the heat pump makes it possible to achieve high efficiency coupled with a low demand for fresh water for the electrolyzer.
