“…26 Small-scale water electrolyzers may be used to produce pure hydrogen and oxygen for diverse applications, such as use of hydrogen gas in laboratories and oxygen in life-support systems in hospitals. 27 It has been shown that for small systems, the dominant factor in determining the cost of electrolytic hydrogen is the cost of the electrolysis cells, whereas for large systems electricity cost and hydrogen value dominate the discussion. 13 Although hydrogen possesses the advantages of availability, flexibility, and high purity, for its widespread applications hydrogen production using water electrolysis needs improvements in energy efficiency, safety, durability, operability, and portability, and, above all, reduction in installation and operation costs.…”

“…The Tafel equations can also be written as follows: (27) Under pure mass transfer control, the expression for j can be written in the form of Eq. 28, where η conc is the concentration overpotential and j L is the limiting current density, which is the current at which the surface concentration of reactant falls to the limiting case of zero: (28) In practice, it is common to experience a large region of η where the reaction rate is controlled partly by reactant supply and partly by electron transfer.…”

Recebido em 13/12/12; aceito em 28/5/13; publicado na web em 17/7/13Water electrolysis is one of the simplest methods used for hydrogen production. It has the advantage of being able to produce hydrogen using only renewable energy. To expand the use of water electrolysis, it is mandatory to reduce energy consumption, cost, and maintenance of current electrolyzers, and, on the other hand, to increase their efficiency, durability, and safety. In this study, modern technologies for hydrogen production by water electrolysis have been investigated. In this article, the electrochemical fundamentals of alkaline water electrolysis are explained and the main process constraints (e.g., electrical, reaction, and transport) are analyzed. The historical background of water electrolysis is described, different technologies are compared, and main research needs for the development of water electrolysis technologies are discussed.

“…In both cases the most cost effective, and for that reason widely used, method for oxygen production is cryogenic air separation [18,19]. The cryogenic air separation process costs about 0.5 kW h/N m 3 O 2 [3].…”

“…However, it is also important to widen one's views and look for opportunities to use the byproducts of the process. Kato et al [3] have investigated the demand for oxygen in Japan and shown the contribution to process efficiency. As an example they showed how selling oxygen to hospitals in Japan makes electrolysis comparable in price with steam reforming.…”

Abstract -This paper presents the methodology and results of analysing the use of different energy storage technologies in the task of integration of fluctuating renewable energy sources (RES) into the electricity supply. The analysis is done on the complete electricity system including renewable energy sources as well as power plants and CHP (Combined heat and power production). Emphasis is put on the need for ancillary services. Devices to store electricity as well as devices to store heat can be used to help the integration of fluctuating sources. Electricity storage technologies can be used to relocate electricity production directly from the sources, while heat storage devices can be used to relocate the electricity production from CHP plants and hereby improve the ability to integrate RES. The analyses are done by advanced computer modelling and the results are given as diagrams showing the system ability to integrate RES inputs between 0 and 100 percent of the electricity demand.
