Massive consumption of fossil fuel leads to shortage problems as well as various global environmental issues. Due to the global climatic problem in the world techniques to supply energy demand change from conventional methods that use fossil fuel as the energy source to clean and renewable sources such as solar and wind. However these renewable energy sources are not permanent. Energy storage methods can ensure to supply the energy demand i Read More

The virtual energy storage system (VESS) is one of the emerging novel concepts among current energy storage systems (ESSs) due to the high effectiveness and reliability. In fact VESS could store surplus energy and inject the energy during the shortages at high power with larger capacities compared to the conventional ESSs in smart grids. This study investigates the optimal operation of a multi-carrier VESS including batteries thermal energy storage ( Read More

Diesel engines are inevitable parts of our daily life and will be in the future. Expensive after-treatment technologies to fulfil normative legislations about the harmful tail-pipe emissions and fuel price increase in recent years created expectations from researchers for alternative fuel applications on diesel engines. This study investigates hydrogen as additive fuel in diesel engines. Hydrogen was introduced into intake manifold using gas injectors as additive fu Read More

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) have proven to be a promising energy conversion technology in various power applications and since it was developed it has been a potential alternative over fossil fuel-based engines and power plants all of which produce harmful by-products. The inlet air coolant and reactants have an important effect on the performance degradation of the PEMFC and certain power outputs. In this work a theoretical model Read More

Turquoise hydrogen is produced from methane cracking a cleaner alternative to steam methane reforming. This study looks at two proposed systems based on solar methane cracking for low-carbon fuel production. The systems utilize different pathways to convert the hydrogen into a suitable form for transportation and utilize the carbon solid by-product. A direct carbon fuel cell is integrated to utilize the carbon and capture the CO2 emissions. T Read More

The energy base of urban settlements requires greater integration of renewable energy sources. This study presents a “hydrogen city” model with two cycles at the district and building levels. The main cycle comprises of hydrogen gas production hydrogen storage and a hydrogen distribution network. The electrolysis of water is based on surplus power from wind turbines and third-generation solar photovoltaic thermal panels. Hydrogen is then used i Read More

This study seeks to find the appropriate strategies necessary to make sustainable and effective hydrogen energy investments. Within this scope nine different criteria are defined regarding social managerial and financial factors. A hesitant interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) methodology is considered to calculate the degree of importance of the criteria. Additionally impact relation maps are also Read More

Apart from many limitations the usage of hydrogen in different day-to-day applications have been increasing drastically in recent years. However numerous techniques available to produce hydrogen electrolysis of water is one of the simplest and cost-effective hydrogen production techniques. In this method water is split into hydrogen and oxygen by using external electric current. In this research a novel hydrogen production system incorporated with Read More

Today with the increasing transition to electric vehicles (EVs) the design of highly energy-efficient vehicle architectures has taken precedence for many car manufacturers. To this end the energy consumption and recovery rates of different powertrain vehicle architectures need to be investigated comprehensively. In this study six different powertrain architectures—four independent in-wheel motors with regenerative electronic stability contr Read More

Non-energy use of natural gas is gaining importance. Gas used for 183 million tons annual ammonia production represents 4% of total global gas supply. 1.5-degree pathways estimate an ammonia demand growth of 3–4-fold until 2050 as new markets in hydrogen transport shipping and power generation emerge. Ammonia production from hydrogen produced via water electrolysis with renewable power (green ammonia) and from natural gas with CO2 stora Read More
