“…This hydrogen can be used as a fuel for electricity production again, however, this "pathway" application is still costly and has lower round trip efficiencies than battery storage. Currently, hydrogen is produced from different resources including, renewables and fossil fuels [32]. Electricity is another option for hydrogen production by means of electrolysis and water.…”

“…A limiting criteria is the availability of proper geological formations for hydrogen storage. A report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) compares these underground storages from different points of view including safety, economy (capital and operational cost), as well as technical feasibility [32]. The results indicate that salt caverns are the best option for underground storage [36,84], however, the storage cost of depleted oil and gas reservoirs seems to be lower based on a study by Lord et al [85].…”

“…The capacity of storages should be located in its upper and lower operational bounds (36), (41). Charge and discharge power of electricity storage and heat storage units should be in a predetermined zone (37), (38), (42), (43). We supposed that the initial energy of storages in each season are the constant ratio of the maximum capacity (39), (44): …”

Optimal Expansion Co-Planning of Reconfigurable Electricity and Natural Gas Distribution Systems Incorporating Energy Hubs

et al. 2017

Abstract:In a carbon-constrained world, natural gas with low emission intensity plays an important role in the energy consumption area. Energy consumers and distribution networks are linked via energy hubs. Meanwhile, reconfiguration that optimizes operational performance while maintaining a radial network topology is a worldwide technique in the electricity distribution system. To improve the overall efficiency of energy infrastructure, the expansion of electricity distribution lines and elements within energy hubs should be co-planned. In this paper, the co-planning process is modeled as a mixed integer quadratic programming problem to handle conflicting objectives simultaneously. We propose a novel model to identify the optimal co-expansion plan in terms of total cost. Operational factors including energy storages and reconfiguration are considered within the systems to serve electricity, cooling and heating loads. Reconfiguration and elements in energy hubs can avoid or defer new elements' installation to minimize the investment cost, maintenance cost, operation cost, and interruption cost in the planning horizon. The proposed co-planning approach is verified on 3 and 12-node electricity and natural gas distribution systems coupled via energy hubs. Numerical results show the ability of our proposed expansion co-planning approach based on energy hub in meeting energy demand.

Solid iron based low or medium temperature chemical loop is considered as a possible option of hydrogen storage and production. In the method, hydrogen is produced via iron oxidation with steam, and in the next phase iron oxide is reduced with hydrogen, synthesis gas or methane. In the reduction stage the reaction is terminated when the atmosphere still contains a large fraction of the reducing agent (often over 70 vol.%). In the paper the innovative idea of a double, iron and germanium based, chemical cycle was proposed. The thermodynamic calculations show that the reduction stage in the double iron-germanium cycle is more effective than the classical iron based loop.
