“…Investigation of hydrogen storage in MOFs was first reported by Rossi et al [135] in 2003. They found that MOF-5 (a cubic three-dimensional extended porous structure with a composition Zn 4 O(1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) 3 ; also known as isoreticular MOF-1 (IRMOF-1) could adsorb 4.5 wt.% of hydrogen at 77 K and 1 wt.% at room temperature. However, even at 20 bar pressure the MOF remained undersaturated with H 2 at room temperature.…”

Hydrogen is gaining a great deal of attention as an energy carrier as well as an alternative fuel. However, in order to fully implement the so called 'hydrogen economy' significant technical challenges need to be overcome in the fields of production and storage of hydrogen and its point of use especially in fuel cells for the automotive industry. The purpose of this review is to present and discuss recent advances in the use of nanomaterials for solar hydrogen production and on-board solid state storage of hydrogen. The role of nanotechnology in enhancing the efficiency of fuel cells and reducing their cost is also discussed.

Virtual Inertia Adaptive Control of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) Wind Power System with Hydrogen Energy Storage

et al. 2018

This paper presents a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind power system with hydrogen energy storage, with a focus on its virtual inertia adaptive control. Conventionally, a synchronous generator has a large inertia from its rotating rotor, and thus its kinetic energy can be used to damp out fluctuations from the grid. However, DFIGs do not provide such a mechanism as their rotor is disconnected with the power grid, owing to the use of back-to-back power converters between the two. In this paper, a hydrogen energy storage system is utilized to provide a virtual inertia so as to dampen the disturbances and support the grid's stability. An analytical model is developed based on experimental data and test results show that: (1) the proposed method is effective in supporting the grid frequency; (2) the maximum power point tracking is achieved by implementing this proposed system; and, (3) the DFIG efficiency is improved. The developed system is technically viable and can be applied to medium and large wind power systems. The hydrogen energy storage is a clean and environmental-friendly technology, and can increase the renewable energy penetration in the power network.

Abstract:One of the most attractive features of hydrogen as an energy carrier is that it can be produced from abundant material like water. The use of electrolysis to produce hydrogen from water is an efficient method from small to large scales. Energy for supplying water electrolysis systems can be provided by photovoltaic arrays. During the daylight hours, the sunlight on the photovoltaic arrays converts into electrical energy which can be used for electrolyzer. The hydrogen produced by the electrolyzer is compressed and stored in hydrogen vessel and provides energy for the fuel cell to meet the load when the solar energy is insufficient. This study investigates a stand-alone power system that consists of 10 kW PV arrays as power supply and 5 kW electrolyzer. They have been integrated and worked at Taleghan site in Iran. Result was simulated and optimized by using HOMER simulation tools and techno-economic analysis of system presented in this paper. Keywords: Hydrogen, PV array, Electrolyzer, Fuel cell, HOMER 0 B IntroductionRenewable energy (RE) sources are attracting more attention as alternative energy sources nowadays. Depletion of energy sources and global warming play big role in this movement [1]. RE sources can open a new ways to solve these environmental issues. They usually free of pollution during development and operation for power generation [2]. Integration of RE with energy storage would provide a better system reliability making it s uitable for remote stand-alone applications [3]. Among these sources, solar energy is an important kind of them. Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy has been widely utilized in small size application and is the most promising candidate for research and development for large-scale use, as the fabrication of less costly PV devices becomes a reality [1]. Seasonal solar energy which stores in the form of hydrogen can provide the basis for a completely renewable energy system. One of the most promising applications is stationary stand-alone power systems, particularly those located in remote areas where the cost of transporting fuel is high [4]. There is a growing awareness that hydrogen is the fuel of the future. Solar hydrogen is a leading candidate for a renewable and environmentally safe energy carrier [5]. Iran with more than 4.5 kWh/mP 2 P .day radiations has a great potential for attracting and converting it to electricity. One of the efforts done in the field of constructing and utilization solar hydrogen plant is constructing standalone power system PV-electrolyzer-fuel cell in Taleghan site. The current paper evaluates the techno-economic aspects of PV-Electrolyzer-Fuel cell system. Hybrid optimization model for electric renewable (HOMER) was used as the simulation and optimization tools. The schematic of the plant at Taleghan site is given in Fig. 1. 1 B MethodologyHybrid systems based on the synergy between RE sources and conventional energy systems can be a reliable solution for remote sites to provide their need of energy. In this study, first PV cells hourly ...
