Renewable Hydrogen: Modular Concepts from Production over Storage to the Consumer

Abstract

A simulation tool called HYDRA to optimize individual hydrogen infrastructure layouts is presented. The different electrolyzer technologies, namely proton exchange membrane electrolysis, anion exchange membrane electrolysis, alkaline electrolysis, and solid oxide electrolysis, as well as hydrogen storage possibilities are described in more detail and evaluated. To illustrate the application opportunities of HYDRA, three project examples are discussed. The examples include central and decentral applications while taking the usage of hydrogen into account.

Solar Energy: Applications, Trends Analysis, Bibliometric Analysis and Research Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

“…Residential rooftop solar PV systems normally have a capacity of 5-20 kW [58], whereas commercial rooftop PV systems can easily reach 100 KW to 1 MW depending on the size of the building [59], the available space and the number of installed solar modules. Larger industrial-scale PV systems ranging from 1 to 10 MW [60] can be installed on big rooftops, such as large factory roofs, etc. Although rooftop solar PV systems can vary in terms of design and used components, all of these systems require a base set of components, which are PV solar panels used to convert sunlight into electricity, mounts, clamps used to fix and install the modules on a set of racks, inverters for DC/AC conversion and batteries for storage (if required), cables and other possible accessories.…”

Metal‐Organic Framework MIL‐68(In)‐NH2 on the Membrane Test Bench for Dye Removal and Carbon Capture

“…Membranes are widely applied, and by the addition of MOFs that boost their performance, they have the potential to assist in critical global tasks, such as establishing a circular CO 2 economy, purifying drinking water, and producing biofuels, e.g., biomethane [20]. They could also be used in green and renewable hydrogen processes [21][22][23]. For instance, MOFs have already been extensively investigated as adsorbents for water capture from air [24].…”

Klimaschutz und nachhaltige Mobilität durch grünen Wasserstoff

“…Sowohl Kompression und Verflüssigung sind energieintensiv, aber für die Speicherung, den Transport oder die technische Verwendung von Wasserstoff nahezu unerlässlich. Modulare Konzepte der Erzeugung, Speicherung und des Transports zum Verbraucher sind in der Entwicklung 19. Gasförmiger Wasserstoff kann ähnlich wie Erdgas in ausgesolten Salzkavernen oder in Porenspeichern in 500–1000 m Tiefe zuverlässig gespeichert werden.…”
