Conference Object Design and Optimization of Green Hydrogen-Based Hybrid Energy System(International Association for Hydrogen Energy, IAHE, 2022) Ceylan,C.; Devrim,Y.Hydrogen (H2) is widely used in many industries because it can be used as a chemical raw material with its high mass-energy density and can be converted back into electricity via fuel cells. H2 energy systems seem to be one of the most effective solutions for providing a better environment and sustainability. Green H2, produced by renewable energy-assisted electrolysis without greenhouse gas emissions, has been of great importance in recent years. In this study, a hybrid energy system including Photovoltaic (PV), Wind Turbine (WT), Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC), and electrolyzer is compared for grid-connected and off-grid operating conditions. In the grid-connected system, electricity generated from PV and WT is used directly to meet electricity demand, while excess electricity is used for green H2 production. In the off-grid connected system, electricity generated from PV and WT was used for H2 production. Produced H2 and O2 were used to generate electricity by PEMFC. While 20186 kWh energy & 3273 m3 H2 were generated in an on-grid connected system, 95145 kWh energy & 17942 m3 H2 and 83511 kWh energy & 14370 m3 H2 were generated in two different configurations in the off-grid connected system. The Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for the on-grid connected system and the off-grid system for two different designs were determined as 0.307 $/kWh, 0.341 $/kWh and 0.349 $/kWh, respectively. The hybrid system design was simulated using MATLAB software and it was examined which hybrid energy system configuration would be the most economical to meet the load. © 2022 Proceedings of WHEC 2022 - 23rd World Hydrogen Energy Conference: Bridging Continents by H2.

The structural and electrochemical characteristics of the bimetallic catalysts were examined by the TGA, XRD, XPS, and CV techniques. ECHP Tests were performed with reformate gas mixtures containing hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2) at temperatures between 140-180°C. The gas at the exit of the ECHP cell was analyzed with the gas chromatography device (GC), and high H2 purity was achieved. © 2022 Proceedings of WHEC 2022 - 23rd World Hydrogen Energy Conference: Bridging Continents by H2.

Hydrogen is expected to take an important share among the alternative fuels in the future. However, it has some challenges in terms of its storage and pressurization. In this study, the effect of back diffusion on the performance of a PBI membrane-based electrochemical hydrogen compressor operating at 160 °C. Pressure values are calculated and validated with experimental results; and the change of flux, voltage and cell efficiency with time are presented. © 2022 Proceedings of WHEC 2022 - 23rd World Hydrogen Energy Conference: Bridging Continents by H2.

Synthesis of ZIF-8 and UiO-66 MOFs was conducted through a typical solvothermal method, and composite membranes containing 2.5 wt. %. MOF was fabricated. Experiments were conducted with pure hydrogen (H2) and reformate gas mixtures containing H2, carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2). A gas chromatography device (GC) was used to analyze the gas composition at the exit of the ECHP cell. The final output H2 purity was found to be >99.9 % for the H2/CO2/CO mixed-phase and >99.7% for the H2/CO mixed phase. © 2022 Proceedings of WHEC 2022 - 23rd World Hydrogen Energy Conference: Bridging Continents by H2.
