The unbridled use of fossil fuels is a serious problem that has become increasingly evident over the years. As such fuels contribute considerably to environmental pollution, there is a need to find new, sustainable sources of energy with low emissions of greenhouse gases. Climate change poses a substantial challenge for the scientific community. Thus, the use of renewable energy through technologies that offer maximum efficiency with minimal pollution and carbon emissions has become a major goal. Technology related to the use of hydrogen as a fuel is one of the most promising solutions for future systems of clean energy. The aim of the present review was to provide an overview of elements related to the potential use of hydrogen as an alternative energy source, considering its specific chemical and physical characteristics as well as prospects for an increase in the participation of hydrogen fuel in the world energy matrix.

“…On the anode side, hydrogen is injected and oxygen is injected on the cathode side as shown in Figure 1. [30][31][32][33][34] To define the parameters of the steady-state model and evaluate its simulation performance, the PEMFC model is chosen. The terminal output voltage of each fuel cell is primarily composed of three types of voltage: activation voltage drop (V activation ), Ohmic voltage drop (V ohmic ), and concentration voltage drop (V concentration ).…”

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have been known to be a feasible method for sustainable power generation to meet the ever-increasing electricity demand with no greenhouse gases emission. Thus, under varying operating circumstances, the PEMFCs have gained considerable importance as an alternative energy source. The optimal operation of PEMFC needs to be ensured to exploit its advantages to the maximum limit. In this direction, there is an extensive need for parameter extraction of PEMFC. Many researchers have applied evolutionary optimization approaches to estimate the PEMFCs parameters as the precise modeling of these cells are not possible. To optimize unknown parameters of PEMFCs, a metaheuristic algorithm is proposed, that is, chaotic mayfly algorithm (CMA) is being proposed in this manuscript. The model's statistical effects are more aligned with the actual experimental findings, according to an experimental finding. The results so obtained suggest that CMA variants are a valuable and efficient method of estimating the parameters of PEMFCs models. Even the nonparametric tests like the Friedman ranking test, Wilcoxon's rank-sum test, and Mood's median test suggest that the proposed algorithm shows better accuracy of the extracted parameters as compared to the other algorithms namely considered in this work.

Summary Meeting the electrical demands of remote places by integrating different renewable energy technologies into a single hybrid system is quite demanding. The integration and optimal utilization of different accessible energy resources into a self‐contained micro‐grid are examined in this article. Using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) software (Version 3.14.0), an integrated hybrid renewable energy system (IHRES) strategy has been suggested and studied. This article is mainly focused on their levelized cost of energy (LCOE) supply and annualized cost system (ACS). Two combinations of energy sources and storage technologies, that is, i) solar photovoltaic (PV)/wind/battery and ii) solar PV/wind/fuel cell (FC) for the community load have been considered for the Kutch location in Gujarat. A recently proposed novel Hybrid Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization and Black Widow Optimization (HCPSOBWO) method is used for optimum component sizing. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, the results obtained are compared with HOMER software. The findings show that the proposed algorithm has excellent convergence characteristics and the capacity to provide high‐quality output. According to the simulation findings, the suggested off‐grid‐connected hybrid solar PV/wind/FC power system is the most suitable and cost‐effective option for the given location. The suggested system will pave the way for the creation of more sustainable, effective, and robust IHRES capable of meeting the energy needs of the whole mankind.
