WINTER TOURISM bECOMES MORE SUSTaINabLE
Sustainability for winter tourism is finally here. Those in off-grid mountain huts have already known about photovoltaic systems
for many years. In the transport sector too, steps are also being taken towards CO
project, the foundations are being laid for the next phase. The term HySnow refers to the entire chain, from the photovoltaic system
and hydrogen production with refuelling system, to a small fleet of fuel-cell powered snowmobiles, which have been developed,
built and tested under real-life operating conditions at the Hinterstoder-Wurzeralm ski resort in Austria. The green electricity for the
refuelling system is generated using a 34.5 kWp PV system with Fronius Symo inverters. The primary goal of the pilot project is the
decarbonisation of winter tourism.
HYDROGEN REFUELLING SYSTEM WITH GREEN pv ENERGY FROM
FRONIUS INvERTERS
The Lynx HySnow is being used as the snowmobile,
which is based on the tried-and-tested Lynx 69 Ranger Alpine. The starting model has been completely
revamped, going from having a combustion engine
to being a sustainable electrically powered vehicle,
complete with a hydrogen fuel cell. The fuel needed
– here green hydrogen – is generated directly on the
mountain, using a 34.5 kWp PV system. This type
of energy production and distribution offers the
enormous benefit of local added value. Clean solar
energy is coupled with an electrolysis module with
a downstream compressor, thus establishing a 350
bar tank infrastructure. Fronius provides the project
with important components that are needed to produce and process hydrogen: two Fronius Symo inverters form the energy source for producing hydrogen from solar power.

Several project partners came together to share their
know-how as part of the “White mobility revolution” project with HySnow.
BRP-Rotax GmbH&CoKG is the consortium leader of the
four-year project and is being supported by Fronius International GmbH, HyCentA Research GmbH, the Institute
of Electrical Measurement and Measurement Signal Processing (EMT) of TU Graz, Elring Klinger AG, ECuSoL
GmbH and Hinterstoder-Wurzeralm Bergbahnen AG as
project partners.
HySnow is being funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency and the Climate and Energy Fund.

The Lynx HySnow is refuelled using hydrogen generated from a dedicated
PV system, making it completely emissions-free. Another advantage of
hydrogen-powered vehicles is that they are almost silent and CO
They operate regardless of temperature fluctuations and achieve higher
ranges than conventional electric vehicles. The Lynx HySnow is mostly
used in winter tourism fields, but can also be used for mountain rescue.
