Abstract
The growing demand for alternative energy sources to alleviate environmental impacts highlights the need to move from fossil fuels to renewable energy. This study demonstrated the technical feasibility of using a solar photovoltaic (PV) system for the production of green hydrogen. This research examined electrical and power data from a PV plant in Irecê, Bahia, using open data sources to provide insights into the production of green hydrogen from renewable sources. The system mainly depends on the use of a renewable source, PV solar energy, integrated with batteries, electrolyzers, and hydrogen tanks. Electrolyzer, battery, and hydrogen tank sizing analysis for optimal hydrogen production was effectively conducted using HOMER Energy software. The predicted system topology prioritizes a local DC network, optimizing efficiency for electrolyzers that have inherently low efficiency. The electrolyzer simulation involves initial Python-based sizing and comprehensive sizing with HOMER Energy software, ensuring accuracy within a 10% discrepancy limit. This highlights the importance of analytical calculations and optimization software for sizing more complex systems.
为减轻环境影响,对替代能源的需求日益增长,这凸显了从化石燃料转向可再生能源的必要性。本研究证明了利用太阳能光伏(PV)系统生产绿色氢气的技术可行性。这项研究利用开放数据源检查了巴伊亚州伊雷塞市一家光伏发电厂的电力和功率数据,以深入了解利用可再生能源生产绿色氢气的情况。该系统主要依赖于光伏太阳能这一可再生能源的使用,并与蓄电池、电解槽和氢气罐相结合。使用 HOMER Energy 软件对电解槽、蓄电池和氢气罐的尺寸进行了有效分析,以优化氢气生产。预测的系统拓扑结构优先考虑本地直流网络,优化了固有效率较低的电解器的效率。电解槽模拟包括基于 Python 的初始选型和使用 HOMER Energy 软件进行的综合选型,确保了精确度不超过 10%。这凸显了分析计算和优化软件对于确定更复杂系统规模的重要性。
期刊介绍:
Energy Science & Engineering is a peer reviewed, open access journal dedicated to fundamental and applied research on energy and supply and use. Published as a co-operative venture of Wiley and SCI (Society of Chemical Industry), the journal offers authors a fast route to publication and the ability to share their research with the widest possible audience of scientists, professionals and other interested people across the globe. Securing an affordable and low carbon energy supply is a critical challenge of the 21st century and the solutions will require collaboration between scientists and engineers worldwide. This new journal aims to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in energy research and development. Due to the importance of this topic to society and economic development the journal will give priority to quality research papers that are accessible to a broad readership and discuss sustainable, state-of-the art approaches to shaping the future of energy. This multidisciplinary journal will appeal to all researchers and professionals working in any area of energy in academia, industry or government, including scientists, engineers, consultants, policy-makers, government officials, economists and corporate organisations.
