“…The results suggested that the exergy efficiency and the total plant cost increased with an increase in the PVT collector length and inlet air mass flow rate, the turbine and the pump isentropic efficiencies, and the absorption chiller evaporator temperature. Akikur et al [131,132] presented the performance analysis of a CHP plant in Malaysia with a parabolic trough solar field, solar PV array, a solid oxide fuel cell, a thermal storage system, and hydrogen and water storage tanks. The results indicated that the cost of solar energy and solid oxide fuel cell based power generation is higher than that from the fossil fuel based system, hence A combination of reversible heat pumps and ORC plant has also been investigated for the production of electricity and heat.…”

“…In China, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the Ministry of Finance of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China and the National Development and Reform Commission of China have collaborated to develop new energy strategies by rolling out national grants focusing on fuel cells development and commercialization starting from 2012 [36]. Following this, other countries in Asia such as Malaysia has supported the utilization of renewable energy and development of hydrogen fuel cell through national grants given to universities [37] and feed-in-tariffs (FiT) scheme for residential applications [38,39].…”

“…Due to the complexity in integrating more than two components and applying adjusted operating strategies and sizes, the detailed fuel cell model must be simplified with a consequence in the reduction of accuracy. In order to enhance the accuracy of the model, most of the studies consider fuel cells as the prime mover in a cogeneration system and for more advanced systems, which include real experimental data from the literature to validate the cell model [39][40][41][42]. One example is that conducted by Asensio [43] that predicted the PEMFC system for optimal energy management using a black box model, and applied the adaptive neural network (ANN) combined with a 3D lookup table to predict the hydrogen consumed and output power of PEMFC in the cogeneration system.…”

The need for energy is increasing from year to year and has to be fulfilled by developing innovations in energy generation systems. Cogeneration is one of the matured technologies in energy generation, which has been implemented since the last decade. Cogeneration is defined as energy generation unit that simultaneously produced electricity and heat from a single primary fuel source. Currently, the implementation of this system has been spread over the world for stationary and mobile power generation in residential, industrial and transportation uses. On the other hand, fuel cells as an emerging energy conversion device are potential prime movers for this cogeneration system due to its high heat production and flexibility in its fuel usage. Even though the fuel cell-based cogeneration system has been popularly implemented in research and commercialization sectors, the review regarding this technology is still limited. Focusing on the optimal design of the fuel cell-based cogeneration system, this study attempts to provide a comprehensive review, guideline and future prospects of this technology. With an up-to-date literature list, this review study becomes an important source for researchers who are interested in developing this system for future implementation.

“…Hydrogen can also be stored on the surfaces of solids (by adsorption) or within solids (by absorption) which is known as material storage. [19]. the storage of hydrogen as gas presents more advantages comparing to the others technologies but hydrogen is a small energetic molecule, so it tends to diffuse through any material intended to contain it, this causes embrittlement or weakening of tanks and pipes containing the hydrogen.…”

This paper deals with the techno-economic study of the hybrid renewable energy system based on energy storage aspect under the form of hydrogen and methane. Indeed, with the intermittency of the renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind energy, several problems of produced energy injection to the power system network can be encountered due to the shortage or the excess of these sources. This situation appeals the use of systems that ensure the stability of network based on the storage of energy surplus into gas using electrolyzer systems, which will be used afterward to cover the eventual shortage. In the present paper, the study of performance of each pathway of methane and hydrogen storage has been performed by the treatment of multiple scenarios via different architecture case studies in an Algerian location. Whereas, the energy produced by the photovoltaic system, the wind energy and the gas micro turbine sources are considered similar in each case. The modeling and simulation of the studied system operation under optimization criteria has been performed in this work, where the main aim is to define the appropriate configuration taking into account the different with low costs of investment, maintenance operation and immediate reactivity with a big storage capacity.
