Application of waste heat in a novel trigeneration system integrated with an HCCI engine for power, heat and hydrogen production

Study on the Application of a Multi-Energy Complementary Distributed Energy System Integrating Waste Heat and Surplus Electricity for Hydrogen Production

“…When the profit rate ψ of hydrogen production is greater than 0, it means that hydrogen production has economic benefits; otherwise, hydrogen production has no economic benefits. As shown in Formulas (30) and (31), the key factors affecting the profit rate of hydrogen production include the capacity of hydrogen production, the selling price of hydrogen, the cost of hydrogen production, and other factors. The factors that affect the capacity of hydrogen production include the solar panel area of the integrated system, the horizontal radiation, the number of small wind turbines, the local wind speed, and the cooling and heating coefficients COP AC/H of the LBARHM in the integrated system.…”

“…Yan Cao et al [29] researched a novel hybrid energy system consisting of a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) and explored different options for generating hydrogen from the waste heat of the MCFC. Somayeh Parsa et al [30] utilized the exhaust gas from a homogeneous charge compression ignition engine containing waste heat for hydrogen production. Yan Cao et al [31] proposed a new energy system based on a fuel cell, RR-ORC, and PEME for green generation of hydrogen and power from the recovery of waste heat from an efficient solid oxide fuel cell.…”
