“…An intelligent controller has been proposed in [12] for optimal gain scheduling. In [13] the same structure, by replacing battery instead of wind turbine, was discussed and applied in Homer environment. In [9] the required energy supplying of an apartment has been investigated with the help of a hybrid system which includes a super capacitor, solar module, fuel cell and also an electrolyzer.…”

“…Therefore, coupling energy storage systems with renewable energy sources through an electrolyzer, which can transform electric energy into hydrogen chemical energy, is considered as a highly sustainable process of exploitation of energy [3][4][5]. A good storage system should also be useful if the system is located in a remote off-grid area [6][7][8], like mountainous regions [9] or small islands [10], as an alternative to the less-efficient and less environmentally-friendly diesel generators that are normally used in these contexts [11][12][13]. For the same type of applications, Li-ion batteries are also used coupled with renewable energy sources.…”

Abstract:In this paper, hydrogen coupled with fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries are considered as alternative energy storage methods. Their application on a stationary system (i.e., energy storage for a family house) and a mobile system (i.e., an unmanned aerial vehicle) will be investigated. The stationary systems, designed for off-grid applications, were sized for photovoltaic energy production in the area of Turin, Italy, to provide daily energy of 10.25 kWh. The mobile systems, to be used for high crane inspection, were sized to have a flying range of 120 min, one being equipped with a Li-ion battery and the other with a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell. The systems were compared from an economical point of view and a life cycle assessment was performed to identify the main contributors to the environmental impact. From a commercial point of view, the fuel cell and the electrolyzer, being niche products, result in being more expensive with respect to the Li-ion batteries. On the other hand, the life cycle assessment (LCA) results show the lower burdens of both technologies.

This paper describes the development of a semi-empirical numerical model for a solar hydrogen system consisting of a Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyser (PEM) powered by photovoltaic panels to produce hydrogen as fuel for cooking applications, focussing on Jamaica as a suitable case-study. The model was developed in TRNSYS and includes a novel numerical component based on FORTRAN to model the operation of the PEM electrolyser.The numerical component was developed based on operational data from a purpose constructed small-scale experimental rig. The numerical model was calibrated using data from the experimental rig powered by operational data from a photovoltaic panel system in the UK and predicted photovoltaic panel power data from Jamaica. For the test conditions, experiments indicated an electrolysis maximum efficiency of 63.6%. The calibrated model was used to develop a case study analysis for a small community in Jamaica with a daily cooking demand of 39.6 kWh or 1.7 kg of H 2 gas. Simulations indicate that the H 2 production plan is sufficient for the cooking needs of the case-study.
