| Abstract: | Energy systems for the building sector nowadays are moving towards using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. However, it is nearly impossible to fully develop a multi-generation energy system for a building only relying on these sources without convenient energy storage, backup systems, or connection to the grid. In this work, using TRNSYS software, a model was developed to study the transient behavior of an energy system applicable for residential buildings to supply the heating, cooling, domestic hot water, and electricity in demand. This study contains the comparison of two methods of energy storage, a hydrogen fuel cell/electrolyzer package and a conventional battery system. This study also provides information on environmental impacts and economical aspects of the proposed system. The results show that for an HVAC system when using hydrogen storage system the capital cost is twice the cost of using a battery system. However, the hydrogen system shows better performance when used at higher loads. Hydrogen storage systems show higher performance when used at higher size units. |
