The primary motivation of the present study is to mitigate the severe impact of ongoing energy resource shortages while offering clean and sustainable energy carriers such as hydrogen and ammonia. The present system mainly encompasses water splitting and the Haber-Bosch (HB) processes for green hydrogen and ammonia synthesis using solar and wind power respectively. Pointwise quantification analyses are conducted to quantify the power Read More

In recent years traditional fossil fuels such as coal oil and natural gas have historically dominated various applications but there has been a growing shift towards cleaner alternatives. Among these alternatives hydrogen (H2) stands out as a highly promising substitute for all other conventional fuels. Today hydrogen (H2) is actively taking on a significant role in displacing traditional fuel sources. The utilization of hydrogen in gas turbine (GT) power gen Read More

The ambitious targets set by the International Maritime Organization for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from shipping require radical actions by all relevant stakeholders. In this context the interest in high efficiency and low emissions (even zero in the case of hydrogen) fuel cell technology for maritime applications has been rising during the last decade pushing the research developed by academia and industries. This paper aims to present a com Read More

This study tested a cogeneration (desalination/hydrogen production) system with natural and black sand as sensible heat storage considering the thermal efficiencies environmental impact water quality cost aspects and hydrogen generation rate. The black sand-modified distiller attained the highest water production of 4645 mL more than the conventional distiller by 1595 mL. It also offered better energy and exergy efficiencies of 45.26% and 3.72% Read More

This study investigates the techno-economic feasibility of an off-grid integrated solar/wind/hydrokinetic plant to co-generate electricity and hydrogen for a remote micro-community. In addition to the techno-economic viability assessment of the proposed system via HOMER (hybrid optimization of multiple energy resources) a sensitivity analysis is conducted to ascertain the impact of ±10% fluctuations in wind speed solar radiation temperature and water ve Read More

The global need for energy has risen sharply recently. A global shift to clean energy is urgently needed to avoid catastrophic climate impacts. Hydrogen (H2) has emerged as a potential alternative energy source with near-net-zero emissions. In the African continent for sustainable access to clean energy and the transition away from fossil fuels this paper presents a new approach through which waste energy can produce green hydrogen from biomass. Bio- Read More

Electric bus transit is crucial in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions decreasing fossil fuel reliance and combating climate change. However the transition to electric-powered buses demands a comprehensive plan for optimal resource allocation technology choice infrastructure deployment and component sizing. This study develops system configuration optimization models for battery electric buses (BEBs) and hydrogen fuel cell buses (H Read More

This research explores the optimal operation of an offshore wave-powered hydrogen system specifically designed to supply electricity and water to a bay in Humboldt California USA and also sell it with hydrogen. The system incorporates a desalination unit to provide the island with fresh water and feed the electrolyzer to produce hydrogen. The optimization process utilizes a mixture of experts in conjunction with the Quantitative Structure-Activity Rel Read More
