“…Hydrogen storage as a compressed gas in tanks [24] or in metal hydride storage [17] have been considered. Alkaline electrolyser [18] or PEME [57] can be used as source of hydrogen. PEME is adapted to compensate for the possible fluctuations of solar energy because of its fast response to current fluctuations.…”

“…The current density is 4 -5 times that of an alkaline electrolyser and it uses no corrosive electrolyte unlike alkaline electrolysers, although alkaline electrolysers are more matured technologies [58,59]. PEMFC is widely used for IPVFC applications since it uses hydrogen [57]. Polycrystalline solar cells [18] have higher conversion efficiency than monocrystalline solar cells but there are interesting advancements in solar cell materials which will be discussed in Section 5.5.…”

Integrated photovoltaic-fuel cell (IPVFC) systems, amongst other integrated energy generation methodologies are renewable and clean energy technologies that have received diverse research and development attentions over the last few decades due to their potential applications in a hydrogen economy. This article systematically updates the state-of-the-art of IPVFC systems and provides critical insights into the research and development gaps needed to be filled/addressed to advance these systems towards full commercialisation. The design methodologies, renewable energy-based microgrid and off-grid applications, energy management strategies, optimisations and the prospects as self-sustaining power source were covered. IPVFC systems could play an important role in the upcoming hydrogen economy since they depend on solar hydrogen which has almost zero emissions during operation. Highlighted herein are the progresses as well as the technical challenges requiring research efforts to solve to realise numerous potential applications of IPVFC systems such as in unmanned aerial vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, agricultural applications, telecommunications, desalination, synthesis of ammonia, boats, buildings, and distributed microgrid applications.

“…Foreign countries attach great importance to the economic research of hydrogen energy storage technology and windpower HESS and have begun to develop the evaluation simulation software of wind-power HESS, including the following three software platforms: first, HOMER, a power system optimization platform developed by the Renewable Energy Laboratory of the United States Department of Energy, is mainly used to evaluate the effect of grid-connected power generation system and can effectively assess and analyze the economy and sensitivity of the integrated system of wind power and fuel cells hydrogen production (Bansal et al, 2020;Hassani et al, 2020). Second, TRNSYS, a system dynamic behavior simulation software platform designed and released by the New Energy Power Laboratory of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, United States, effectively quantifies and evaluates the operation effect of power system through simulation, and its standard database is composed by nearly 150 calculation models, including the simulation calculation models of hydrogen production system by wind power and fuel cell generation models (Bakić Vukman et al, 2012;Buonomano et al, 2018).…”

Alongside the rapid expansion of wind power installation in China, wind curtailment is also mounting rapidly due to China’s energy endowment imbalance. The hydrogen-based wind-energy storage system becomes an alternative to solve the puzzle of wind power surplus. This article introduced China’s energy storage industry development and summarized the advantages of hydrogen-based wind-energy storage systems. From the perspective of resource conservation, it estimated the environmental benefits of hydrogen-based wind-energy storages. This research also builds a valuation model based on the Real Options Theory to capture the distinctive flexible charging and discharging features of the hydrogen-based wind-energy storage systems. Based on the model, simulation results, including the investment value and operation decision of the hydrogen energy storage system with different electricity prices, system parameters, and different levels of subsidies, are presented. The results show that the hydrogen storage system fed with the surplus wind power can annually save approximately 2.19–3.29 million tons of standard coal consumption. It will reduce 3.31–4.97 million tons of CO2, SO2, NOx, and PM, saving as much as 286.6–429.8 million yuan of environmental cost annually on average. The hydrogen-based wind-energy storage system’s value depends on the construction investment and operating costs and is also affected by the mean-reverting nature and jumps or spikes in electricity prices. The market-oriented reform of China’s power sector is conducive to improve hydrogen-based wind-energy storage systems’ profitability. At present, subsidies are still essential to reduce initial investment and attract enterprises to participate in hydrogen energy storage projects.

“…Extensive research on PV cooperating with energy storage systems are conducted all over the world. For example, in reference [27] the authors show a photovoltaics installation connected with a hydrogen production system. Paper demonstrates that with a proper design of the system proposed by the authors it can operate correctly charging the batteries, supplying the electrolyzer, and occasionally producing excess electricity.…”

In this article the solution based on hydrogen generation to increase the flexibility of energy storage systems is proposed. Operating characteristics of a hydrogen generator with integrated electrical energy storage and a photovoltaic installation were determined. The key role of the electricity storage in the proposed system was to maintain the highest operating efficiency related to the nominal parameters of the hydrogen generator. The hydrogen generators achieved the highest energy efficiency for the nominal operating point at the highest power output. Lead-acid batteries were used to ensure the optimal operating conditions for the hydrogen generator supplied with renewable energy throughout the day. The proposed system reduces significantly the hydrogen generator nominal power and devices in system operate in such a way to improve their efficiency and durability. The relations between individual components and their constraints were determined. The proposed solution is fully in-line with previously investigated technologies for improving grid stability and can help incorporate renewable energy sources to increase the sustainability of the energy sector and green hydrogen production.
