This study aims to find the evidence that polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is pertinent, with respect to the risk of thermal degradation during fueling, as a liner material of a type-4 composite cylinder for storing 6.8 L of compressed hydrogen. In particular, one type-4 cylinder with the PET liner of thickness 0.6 mm and one type-3 cylinder for comparison have simultaneously undergone 6 cycles of fast fueling (0.15 MPa/s) and fast defueling (0.55 MPa/s) with hydrogen gas in the range of 2 to 45 MPa. The hydrogen temperatures in cylinders, which were measured by a specially-devised thermocouple inserted in each cylinder, change within the range of ?30.0 to 70.0 °C. Although the temperature in the type-4 cylinder rises higher than that in the type-3 cylinder due to the lower heat conductivity of PET, it does not exceed 85 °C, which is the limit set by the international standards, EC No. 79. Furthermore, from the measurements of the deformation by the laser displacement sensors, the type-4 cylinder swells less than the type-3 cylinder. The pressure-displacement analysis shows that the deformation of type-4 cylinders occurs reversibly, i.e., defueling makes the cylinder regain its previous shape. In essence, PET is safe against thermal degradation when applied as a liner of a 6.8 L type-4 cylinder for hydrogen storage.  相似文献

Photocatalysts can be used both for air cleaning and solar energy harvesting through water splitting. However, pure TiO2 photocatalysts are often inefficient and therefore co-catalysts are needed to improve the yield. To achieve this goal, we prepared TiO2 and deposited Pt, Ir and Ru co-catalysts on its surface. Two base TiO2 nanoparticles were used: P25 and rutile TiO2 synthesized via hydrothermal method. Co-catalysts were deposited by wet impregnation technique using single element and a combination of two elements (Pt and Ir or Pt and Ru), followed by annealing in either air or H2/Ar. Annealing in reducing atmosphere increased the photocatalytic activity of oxidation of isopropanol compared to annealing in air. We demonstrated a clear influence of the co-catalysts on the photocatalytic degradation of isopropanol and on electrochemical water-splitting reaction. The platinum-containing samples showed the best HER activity.  相似文献

The performance analysis of a novel multi-generation (MG) system that is developed for electricity, cooling, hot water and hydrogen production is presented in this study. MG systems in literature are predominantly built on a gas cycle, integrated with other thermodynamic cycles. The aim of this study is to achieve better thermodynamic (energy and exergy) performance using a MG system (without a gas cycle) that produces hydrogen. A proton exchange membrane (PEM) utilizes some of the electricity generated by the MG system to produce hydrogen. Two Rankine cycles with regeneration and reheat principles are used in the MG configuration. Double effect and single effect absorption cycles are also used to produce cooling. The electricity, hot water, cooling effect, and hydrogen production from the multi-generation are 1027 kW, 188.5 kW, 11.23 kg/s and 0.9785 kg/h respectively. An overall energy and exergy efficiency of 71.6% and 24.5% respectively is achieved considering the solar parabolic trough collector (PTC) input and this can increase to 93.3% and 31.9% if the input source is 100% efficient. The greenhouse gas emission reduction of this MG system is also analyzed.  相似文献

This paper evaluates the potential of grid services in France, Italy, Norway and Spain to provide an alternative income for electrolysers producing hydrogen from wind power. Grid services are simulated with each country's data for 2017 for energy prices, grid services and wind power profiles from relevant wind parks. A novel metric is presented, the value of curtailed hydrogen, which is independent from several highly uncertain parameters such as electrolyser cost or hydrogen market price. Results indicate that grid services can monetise the unused spare capacity of electrolyser plants, improving their economy in the critical deployment phase. For most countries, up-regulation yields a value of curtailed hydrogen above 6 €/kg, over 3 times higher than the EU's 2030 price target (without incentives). However, countries with large hydro power resources such as Norway yield far lower results, below 2 €/kg. The value of curtailed hydrogen also decreases with hydrogen production, corresponding to the cases of symmetric and down-regulation.  相似文献

Supercritical water is a promising medium to convert plastics into hydrogen and other recyclable products efficiently. In previous research, supercritical water gasification characteristics investigations focus on thermoplastics instead of thermoset plastics due to its chemical, thermal and mechanical stability. Urea-formaldehyde (UF) plastics were selected as a typical kind of thermoset plastics for investigation in this paper and quartz tubes were used as the reactor in order to avoid the potential catalytic effect of metal reactor wall. Conversion characteristic were studied and the influence of different operating parameters such as temperature, reaction time, feedstock mass fraction and pressure were investigated respectively. The molar fraction of hydrogen could reach about 70% in 700 °C. Products in gas phase and solid phase were analyzed, and properties, chemical structures and inhibition mechanism of thermoset plastics was analyzed after comparing with polystyrene (PS) plastics. The result showed that increase of high temperature and long reaction time could promote gasification process, meanwhile the increase in the feedstock mass fraction would result in suppression of the gasification process. Finally, kinetic study of UF was carried out and the activation energy and pre-exponential factor of the Arrhenius equation were calculated as 30.09 ± 1.62 kJ/mol and 0.1199 ± 0.0049 min−1, respectively.  相似文献

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been widely used by scientists in a variety of energy modes (biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and hydroelectric). This review highlights the assistance of ANN for researchers in the quest for discovering more advanced materials/processes for efficient hydrogen production (HP). The review is divided into two parts in this context. The first section briefly mentions, in terms of technologies, economy, energy consumption, and costs symmetrically outlined the advantages and disadvantages of various HP routes such as fossil fuel/biomass conversion, water electrolysis, microbial fermentation, and photocatalysis. Subsequently, ANN and ANN hybrid studies implemented in HP research were evaluated. Finally, statistics of hybrid studies with ANN are given, and future research proposals and hot research topics are briefly discussed. This research, which touches upon the types of ANNs applied to HP methods and their comparison with other modeling techniques, has an essential place in its field.  相似文献

The biological production of hydrogen by microalgae is considered as an advantageous process. However, its yields are sometimes limited. To go beyond this limit, the improvement of the H2 generation rate by Spirulina was studied via an electrochemical photo-bioreactor (EPBR). This EPBR led to hydrogen evolution rates of up to 27.49 and 13.37 mol of H2.d−1.m−3 for the anode and cathode chambers, respectively, under 0.3 V voltage and ~2.5 mA current. These results represent about a 4-fold increase compared to the H2 production rate recorded without the application of a voltage. This increase in bio-hydrogen production is correlated with a drop in the concentration of NADPH. The Electrochemical Sequential Batch Reactor (ESRB) provided a more interesting total production rate which was 2.65 m3 m−3 d−1, compared to the batch mode, which gave 1.2 m3 m−3.d−1. The results show, for the first time, the boosting effect of the voltage on the metabolism of H2 production by the Spirulina strain.  相似文献

Achieving complete combustion of fossil fuels has long been thought of as a sufficient remedy for tackling vehicular emissions and the ensuing environmental effects. However, thanks to the increasing awareness around the climate change, the global dialogue has now shifted to realizing a carbon-free economy, which has set stricter curbs on the energy source that can power the future mobility. Therefore, the idea of “clean combustion” requires rethinking. Of the many choices for alternative clean fuels that are both energy-efficient and environment-friendly, hydrogen has always been eyed as the best clean alternative there is. This article reviews various available approaches to utilizing hydrogen for mobility applications with a discussion of their relative merits and shortcomings. In addition to well-discussed methods like fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen-based IC engines, and dual-fuel operation with hydrogen, this review also assesses the technical and economic feasibilities of using hydrogen in e-fuels and their implications for our existing infrastructure and future energy demands.  相似文献

Although utilization of diverse classes of metal oxides as hydrogen storage materials has been reported, but there is still a major need to introduce efficient materials. Herein, mesoporous Zn2V2O7 nanostructures were produced by a new sonochemical method using hydrazine, zinc nitrate, and ammonium vanadate as the starting reagents and then annealed at 700 °C. Prior to annealing, Zn3V3O8 was produced in the presence of ultrasonic waves, whereas in the absence of ultrasonic waves, Zn2(VO4)2 was the major product. In fact, ultrasonic waves interfered with the reaction mechanism and reduced V5+ to V4+ and V3+. Because of the proper composition and structure of these nanostructures, they were used for electrochemical storage of hydrogen. Storage of over 2899 mAh/g after 20 cycles by flower-like nanostructures revealed their high capability. The results also showed that morphology affects efficiency such that three-dimensional spherical nanostructures had a storage capacity of 2247 mAh/g after 20 cycles.  相似文献

Absorption heat transformer (AHT) and flash evaporator (FE) are used to reduce the heat consumption of CO2 capture processes and an AHT–FE-aided capture system is proposed. Analyses are carried out to verify the effectiveness in reducing heat consumption. Compared with the base CO2 capture system of 3000 t/d CO2 capture capacity from a 660 MW coal-fired power unit, the AHT–FE-aided capture system reduces the heat consumption from 3.873 GJ/tCO2 to 3.772 GJ/tCO2, and the corresponding energy saving is 2.62%. The economic analysis shows that the annual profit would be 2.94 million RMB Yuan. The payback period of the AHT–FE-aided capture system is approximately 2.4 years. Therefore, the AHT–FE-aided capture system is both economically and technically feasible for improving the CO2 capture energy performance.  相似文献

Leachate generated in landfills is considered as a hazardous waste stream due to its composition and needs adequate treatment for environmental protection purposes. Nonetheless, a contemporary technology should not only be able to deal with its degradation, but at the same time, recover energy in various forms. Such valorization approaches with priority on these dual-aims are potentially those that rely on anaerobic biosystems. In the literature, processes considered on that matter include fermentative, digestive and bioelectrochemical set-ups to deliver energy-carriers such as biohydrogen (DF), biogas (AD) and electricity (BES), respectively. Moreover, to enhance the global efficiency of leachate utilization, it has been recently trending to develop integrated options by combining these systems (DF, AD, BES) into a cascade scheme. In this review, it is intended to give an insight to the research activities realized in these fields and show possible directions towards the better exploitation of leachate feedstock under anaerobic conditions.  相似文献

Hydrogen is an excellent alternative energy source, particularly for vehicles. Despite the expansion of a considerable number of infrastructures, such as hydrogen refueling stations, there is a lack of efficient inspection methods for monitoring the hydrogen fuel quality. In this study, a hydrogen impurity analyzer (HIA) based on mobile gas chromatography with a thermal conductivity detector is developed and evaluated for the quality assurance of hydrogen fuel. Accordingly, O2, N2, and Ar which help in monitoring air leaks at hydrogen refueling stations, and CH4, which can also be detected by HIA, are selected as target impurities. The HIA reached limits of detection of 2.93, 0.72, 0.84, and 1.54 μmol/mol for O2, Ar, N2, and CH4, respectively. Moreover, the ISO 14687 requirements are satisfied with respective HIA expanded uncertainties of 2.6, 8.7, 8.2, and 9.4% (coverage factor k = 2). The developed system is ISO-compliant and offers enhanced mobility for online inspections.  相似文献

This article analyses exergy losses along hydrogen utilisation pathways recently discussed in Germany and other countries. As a renewable fuel hydrogen will be an important part of sustainable future economies. Hydrogen can be used in all sectors, especially in buildings, for mobility and in industry, e.g. in steel production or ammonia synthesis. However, hydrogen has to be produced in a sustainable way. The most promising production is via water electrolysis using renewable electricity. In the first part of this work, exergy analysis is made for the complete hydrogen pathways from production until final utilisation for energy supply in buildings. The second part will focus on pathways for mobility. In the third part, the results are compared with available alternatives to hydrogen such as direct use of electricity in building supply or mobility. The results for building energy supply show that firstly transportation in pipelines (mixture with natural gas and pure hydrogen) is very efficient. Secondly, major exergy losses are caused by the electrolyser. Thirdly, combustion of renewable hydrogen for room heating in common boilers cause the highest exergy losses, but the use of combined heat and power (CHP) units or fuel cells can improve the exergy efficiency substantially.  相似文献

We propose targets, based on real world data, necessary to design a financially viable microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) for the treatment of domestic wastewater. By reducing the cost of the anode and current collecting materials by 90%, a viable organic loading rate would be between 800 and 1,400g-COD/m3/d (2–3A/m2). The anode and current collector materials account for 94% of the total material costs; consequently, cost savings in any other material are moot. If the bioanode can be reused after 20 years, further, significant savings could be achieved. To develop targets we used real world data, for the first time, to evaluate the financial viability of MECs against the current predominant method of wastewater treatment: activated sludge. We modelled net present values for eight potential scenarios and the performances required for MECs to break-even.  相似文献

Heavy fossil fuels consumption has raised concerns over the energy security and climate change while hydrogen is regarded as the fuel of future to decarbonize global energy use. Hydrogen is commonly used as feedstocks in chemical industries and has a wide range of energy applications such as vehicle fuel, boiler fuel, and energy storage. However, the development of hydrogen energy in Malaysia is sluggish despite the predefined targets in hydrogen roadmap. This paper aims to study the future directions of hydrogen economy in Malaysia considering a variety of hydrogen applications. The potential approaches for hydrogen production, storage, distribution and application in Malaysia have been reviewed and the challenges of hydrogen economy are discussed. A conceptual framework for the accomplishment of hydrogen economy has been proposed where renewable hydrogen could penetrate Malaysia market in three phases. In the first phase, the market should aim to utilize the hydrogen as feedstock for chemical industries. Once the hydrogen production side is matured in the second phase, hydrogen should be used as fuel in internal combustion engines or burners. In the final phase hydrogen should be used as fuel for automobiles (using fuel cell), fuel-cell combined heat and power (CHP) and as energy storage.  相似文献

The influence of hydrogen level on compressive properties of TC21 alloy processed by thermohydrogen treatment (THT) at 1123 K was studied through room-temperature compression experiments. The microstructures of TC21 alloy processed by THT at 1123 K were investigated by OM, XRD, and TEM. Results showed that hydrogen level affected apparently the microstructures and compressive properties of TC21 alloy processed by THT at 1123 K. With increasing level of hydrogen, the yield strength of TC21 alloy decreased to a minimum initially and then increased; the deformation limit of TC21 alloy decreased slightly to a minimum first, then increased to a maximum, and ultimately decreased. At a hydrogen level of 0.78 wt%, the deformation limit of TC21 alloy was the highest among all THT-processed TC21 alloys and showed an increase of 244.33% compared with the original TC21 alloy.  相似文献

Hydrogen is a promising alternative to fossil fuel for a source of clean energy due to its high energy content. Some strains of phototrophic microorganisms are known as important object of scientific research and they are being explored to raise biohydrogen (BioH2) yield. BioH2 is still not commonly used in industrial area because of the low biomass yield and valuable down streaming process. This article deals with the methods of the hydrogen production with the help of two large groups of phototrophic microorganisms – microalgae and cyanobacteria. Microalgal hydrogen is environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Algal biomass has been considered as an attractive raw source for hydrogen production. Genetic modified strains of cyanobacteria are used as a perspective object for obtaining hydrogen. The modern photobioreactors and outdoor air systems have been used to obtain the biomass used for hydrogen production. At present time a variety of immobilization matrices and methods are being examined for their suitability to make immobilized H2 producers.  相似文献

In spite of significant achievements in alkaline exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) in recent years, they are still lagging behind proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) due to performance instability. Among the relevant operational parameters of AEMFC, the researchers have found that poor water management within the cell was the main reason for failure of the system. In the past five years, numerous modeling and experimental works were reported proposing different strategies to improve water management of AEMFC. With proper water management, the achievable power output in AEMFCs is comparable with that of PEMFCs or even more. Efforts have to be continued, but AEMFCs can become a strong competitor in the market place. This review paper discusses the strategies and developments impacting water management of AEMFCs providing knowledge source for upcoming studies.  相似文献

In this paper, the performance of a solar gas turbine (SGT) system integrated to a high temperature electrolyzer (HTE) to generate hybrid electrical power and hydrogen fuel is analyzed. The idea behind this design is to mitigate the losses in the electrical power transmission and use the enthalpy of exhaust gases released from the gas turbine (GT) to make steam for the HTE. In this context, a GT system is coupled with a solar tower including heliostat solar field and central receiver to generate electrical power. To make steam for the HTE, a flameless boiler is integrated to the SGT system applying the SGT extremely high temperature exhaust gases as the oxidizer. The results indicate that by increasing the solar receiver outlet temperature from 800 K to 1300 K, the solar share increases from 22.1% to 42.38% and the overall fuel consumption of the plant reduces from 7 kg/s to 2.7 kg/s. Furthermore, flameless mode is achievable in the boiler while the turbine inlet temperature (TIT) is maintained at the temperatures higher than 1314 K. Using constant amounts of the SGT electrical power, the HTE voltage decreases by enhancing the HTE steam temperature which result in the augmentation of the overall hydrogen production. To increase the HTE steam temperature from 950 K to 1350 K, the rate of fuel consumption in the flameless boiler increases from 0.1 m/s to 0.8 m/s; however, since the HTE hydrogen production increases from 4.24 mol/s to 16 mol/s it can be interpreted that the higher steam temperatures would be affordable. The presented hybrid system in this paper can be employed to perform more thermochemical analyses to achieve insightful understanding of the hybrid electrical power-hydrogen production systems.  相似文献

This paper examines the current state of the art of hydrogen refuelling stations-based production and storage systems for fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEV). Nowadays, the emissions are increasing rapidly due to the usage of fossil fuels and the demand for hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) is emerging to replace the conventional vehicles with FCHEVs. Hence, the availability of HRS and its economic aspects are discussed. In addition, a comprehensive study is presented on the energy storage systems such as batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells which play a major role in the FCHEVs. An energy management system (EMS) is essential to meet the load requirement with effective utilisation of power sources with various optimizing techniques. A detailed comparative analysis is presented on the merits of Reinforcement learning (RL) for the FCHEVs. The significant challenges are discussed in depth with potential solutions for future work.  相似文献
