“…Both practical operation and assessment by modeling are conducted in this cluster. Cluster VI-B "Hydrogen production based on wind power" focuses on the economic aspect of producing hydrogen by wind power [127,128]. This could be because wind power is currently the cheapest renewable energy source.…”

Abstract:Water electrolysis for hydrogen production has received increasing attention, especially for accumulating renewable energy. Here, we comprehensively reviewed all water electrolysis research areas through computational analysis, using a citation network to objectively detect emerging technologies and provide interdisciplinary data for forecasting trends. The results show that all research areas increase their publication counts per year, and the following two areas are particularly increasing in terms of number of publications: "microbial electrolysis" and "catalysts in an alkaline water electrolyzer (AWE) and in a polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzer (PEME).". Other research areas, such as AWE and PEME systems, solid oxide electrolysis, and the whole renewable energy system, have recently received several review papers, although papers that focus on specific technologies and are cited frequently have not been published within the citation network. This indicates that these areas receive attention, but there are no novel technologies that are the center of the citation network. Emerging technologies detected within these research areas are presented in this review. Furthermore, a comparison with fuel cell research is conducted because water electrolysis is the reverse reaction to fuel cells, and similar technologies are employed in both areas. Technologies that are not transferred between fuel cells and water electrolysis are introduced, and future water electrolysis trends are discussed.

“…High energy density of hydrogen as an energy carrier will play an important role in this new energetic paradigm [3], especially because fuel cells can operate in houses as generators with the advantage of the lack of CO 2 emissions. Obtaining energy from renewable sources such as photovoltaic [4], wind [5] or waves [6] has been studied in several papers. The usefulness of these energy sources has been verified, the principal problem being their variability, therefore the most difficult inconvenient to solve is the control and manage of these microgrids.…”

“…By using the 8 proposed strategy, the cost of the system has been optimized in two cases by 9 considering both exploiting renewable energy sources along ICE and only exploiting 10 renewable energy sources. In the first case, the ICE system dominates all the other 11 components due to the low cost of fuel, whereas in the second case, all renewable 12 resources have been exploited and optimized in order to make a 100% renewable 13 system with least possible cost.…”

In this paper, a small remote area which is located in Nigeria has been considered as a model to be tested by a managing scheme for providing both electricity and water. In this strategy, the groundwater is pumped into a water tank which can be later used for supplying required irrigation and drinking water. A PAT (Pump as Turbine) is used as a hybrid system for supplying electricity and water as well as storing water in the water tank. Also, a PV (photovoltaic plant), a package of batteries (BAT) in addition to a diesel ICE (internal combustion engine) are used and optimized along with the best size of devices and managing system, with the purpose of obtaining the maximum economical operating strategy. In this paper, two cases are considered to assess the effectiveness of the system under study. Firstly, all of the mentioned devices are used to show how internal combustion engine system dominates all the other components due to the low cost of fuel. In the second case, all renewable resources have been exploited and optimized in order to make a 100% renewable system with least possible cost. Having about 53 variables makes this problem very complicated which requires to be solved by an algorithm with more accuracy. Therefore, a MGSA (Modified Gravitational Search Algorithm) with an adapted mutation tactic is used to find the best cost and management strategy. In the first case, although the cost of diesel oil is very low, by using the PAT, about 5% of diesel oil consumption is reduced. In the second case, in order to make a 100% renewable system, the size of PV is enlarged approximately 16 times in comparison with the first case. The hybrid PV-PAT storing structure is capable to deliver the water for irrigation and domestic requirements as well as 9% of the electricity needed for the rural community. structure is capable to deliver the water for irrigation and domestic requirements as well 7 as 9% of the electricity needed for the rural community.
