The Atılım University Department of Mechanical Engineering started education in 2009, and offers graduate and doctorate degree programs, in addition to its undergraduate program. Our main goal is to graduate Mechanical Engineers who have the skills to design, analyze and synthesize; who are able to convert advanced technology and innovations into products; and who have the culture of research and cooperation. While our graduates reach this goal, they adopt the principle of life-long learning, and develop a sense of entrepreneurship, paying importance to professional ethics. With a curriculum prepared in line with the criteria of MÜDEK, we help our students develop themselves professionally, and socially. Graduates of mechanical engineering may be employed in many sectors and in a wide array of positions. Able to work under any field that involves production and energy conversion, graduates of the department may also gain expertise in fields such as aviation, automotive, or material engineering.

The Department of Energy Systems Engineering admitted its first students and started education in the academic year of 2009-2010 under Atılım University School of Engineering. In this Department, all kinds of energy are presented in modules (conventional energy, renewable energy, hydrogen energy, bio-energy, nuclear energy, energy planning and management) from their detection, production and procession; to their transfer and distribution. A need is to arise for a surge of energy systems engineers to ensure energy supply security and solve environmental issues as the most important problems of the fifty years to come. In addition, Energy Systems Engineering is becoming among the most important professions required in our country and worldwide, especially within the framework of the European Union harmonization process, and within the free market economy.

Abstract

Hydrogen should be stored at high pressure and high purity, especially when utilized in fuel cells. Conventionally, mechanical compressors are used for pressurization of hydrogen; however, this technology has disadvantages such as noise and vibration during operation due to their moving parts. Electrochemical hydrogen compressors (ECHC) have emerged as an alternative solution, as these devices can purify and compress hydrogen electrochemically in a single device. This review provides a comprehensive overview of key components and management strategies of the ECHC systems. This review will also provide an overview of different hydrogen compression technologies and provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments and current issues and future of ECHCs. For this purpose, firstly, the advantages and disadvantages of ECHC compared to mechanical compressors are explained. Then, recent studies on hydrogen purification methods are given. The working principle of ECHC, material development studies and mathematical modeling of ECHCs are also discussed.
