“…Considering the pressure, in this case, the thermodynamic reaction is favoured by increasing its value in fuel cell operation and is slowed during electrolysis, as shown by its positive dependence in the last term of the Nernst equation (Equation ( 2)). However, a higher pressure simplifies the integration with other units, indeed the hydrogen is pressurised to be stored and used as transport fuel (until maximum 700 bar for fuel cell vehicles [20]); moreover, several downstream chemical synthesis reactors are pressurised. On the other hand, working in pressure is a more dangerous condition; indeed, the pressure differences between hydrogen and air electrode side should be minimised in order to avoid gas crossover.…”

“…In a neighbourhood smart energy system, all utility demands (i.e., electricity, heat, mobility and water) would be fulfilled through the Power to H3 approach, where H3 means H 2 , heat and H 2 O. Using renewable energies paired with the reversible cell operation, the household electric consumption, heating and hot water would be satisfied, and moreover, a part of stored hydrogen could be directly used as transport fuel [20]. At this scale application, the proposed integration allows for the cost reduction saving on electricity grid extension.…”

The continuous increase of energy demand with the subsequent huge fossil fuel consumption is provoking dramatic environmental consequences. The main challenge of this century is to develop and promote alternative, more eco-friendly energy production routes. In this framework, Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) are a quite attractive technology which could satisfy the users’ energy request working in reversible operation. Two operating modes are alternated: from “Gas to Power”, when SOCs work as fuel cells fed with hydrogen-rich mixture to provide both electricity and heat, to “Power to Gas”, when SOCs work as electrolysers and energy is supplied to produce hydrogen. If solid oxide fuel cells are an already mature technology with several stationary and mobile applications, the use of solid oxide electrolyser cells and even more reversible cells are still under investigation due to their insufficient lifetime. Aiming at providing a better understanding of this new technological approach, the study presents a detailed description of cell operation in terms of electrochemical behaviour and possible degradation, highlighting which are the most commonly used performance indicators. A thermodynamic analysis of system efficiency is proposed, followed by a comparison with other available electrochemical devices in order to underline specific solid oxide cell advantages and limitations.

“…Hydrogen is a potential alternative to fossil fuels in transportation, industrial, commercial and residential sectors [1,2,3]. Since hydrogen can be generated through different renewable energy sources [4,5,6], the so-called hydrogen economy could be an integral part of a renewable energy system, allowing the substitution of pipeline natural gas with renewable hydrogen to reduce carbon emissions as well as the dependence on fossil fuels [2,7,8]. The end use of this renewable hydrogen has been a research topic during the last decades.…”

“…For example, a multi-energy complementary demonstration base based on wind energy, solar energy, water energy, and energy storage started construction in Jiuquan, Gansu Province at the end of 2019. The completion of the project will not only improve the local wind energy and solar energy consumption issues, but also increase the diversity of hydrogen production sources (Chen et al., 2020; Van der Roest et al., 2020).…”

The hydrogen energy system based on the multi-energy complementary of renewable energy can improve the consumption of renewable energy, reduce the adverse impact on the power grid system, and has the characteristics of green, low carbon, sustainable, etc., which is currently a global research hotspot. Based on the basic principles of hydrogen production technology, this paper introduces the current hydrogen energy system topology, and summarizes the technical advantages of renewable energy complementary hydrogen production and the complementary system energy coordination forms. The problems that have been solved or reached consensus are summarized, and the current status of hydrogen energy system research at home and abroad is introduced in detail. On this basis, the key technologies of multi-energy complementation of hydrogen energy system are elaborated, especially in-depth research and discussion on coordinated control strategies, energy storage and capacity allocation, energy management, and electrolysis water hydrogen production technology. The development trend of the multi-energy complementary system and the hydrogen energy industry chain is also presented, which provides a reference for the development of hydrogen production technology and hydrogen energy utilization of the renewable energy complementary system.
