This paper investigates innovative solutions to enhance the performance and lifespan of standalone photovoltaic (PV)-based microgrids with a particular emphasis on off-grid communities. A major challenge in these systems is the limited lifespan of batteries. To overcome this issue researchers have created hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) along with advanced power management strategies. This study introduces innovative multi-level HESS appr Read More

The effect of electrode area electrolyte concentration temperature andlight intensity (up to 218 sun) on PV electrolysis of water is studied using a highconcentrated triple-junction (3-J) photovoltaic cell (PV) connected directly to analkaline membrane electrolyzer (EC). For a given current the voltage requirement torun an electrolyzer increases with a decrease in electrode sizes (4.5 2.0 0.5 and 0.25cm2) due to high current densities. The high c Read More

The global energy sector is undergoing a transition towards sustainable sources with hydrogen emerging as a promising alternative due to its high energy content and clean-burning properties. The integration of hydrogen into the energy landscape represents a significant advancement towards a cleaner greener future. This paper introduces an innovative decision support system (DSS) that combines multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) and decis Read More

The increasing demand for renewable energy sources (RES) to address environmental concerns and reduce fossil fuel dependency highlights the need for efficient energy storage and balancing mechanisms to manage RES output uncertainty. However providing dedicated storage units to RES owners is often infeasible. Additionally the growing interest in hydrogen utilization complicates optimal decision-making for multi-energy systems. To tackle these Read More

The decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries is crucial for keeping global warming to below 2◦C. Green or renewable hydrogen synthesized through water electrolysis has emerged as a sustainable alternative for fossil fuels in energy-intensive sectors such as aluminum cement chemicals steel and transportation.

Hydrogen has the capability of being a potential energy carrier and providing a long-term solution for sustainable lower-carbon and ecologically benign fuel supply. Because lower-carbon hydrogen is widely used in chemical synthesis it is regarded as a fuel with no emissions for transportation. This review paper offers a novel technique for producing hydrogen using wastewater in a sustainable manner. The many techniques for producing hydrogen with re 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 chances of a global hydrogen economy becoming a reality have increased significantly since the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine and for net zero carbon emissions. However intercontinental hydrogen transport is still a major issue. This study suggests transporting hydrogen as a gas at atmospheric pressure in balloons using the natural flow of wind to carry the balloon to its destination. We investigate the average wind speeds atmospheric pre Read More

Switching to renewable resources for hydrogen production is essential. Present hydrogen resources such as coal oil and natural gas are depleted and rapidly moving to a dead state and they possess a high carbon footprint. Wastewater is a promising avenue in searching for a renewable hydrogen production resource. Profuse techniques are preferred for hydrogen production. Among them electrolysis is great with wastewater against biological process Read More

One of the emerging and environmentally friendly technologies is the photoelectrochemical generation of green hydrogen; however the cheap cost of production and the need for customizing photoelectrode properties are thought to be the main obstacles to the widespread adoption of this technology. The primary players in hydrogen production by photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting which is becoming more common on a worldwide basis are Read More
