Improvement of Temperature and Humidity Control of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
Sep 2021
Publication
Temperature and humidity are two important interconnected factors in the performance of PEMFCs (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells). The fuel and oxidant humidity and stack temperature in a fuel cell were analyzed in this study. There are many factors that affect the temperature and humidity of the stack. We adopt the fuzzy control method of multi-input and multi-output to control the temperature and humidity of the stack. A model including Read More
Addressing the Low-carbon Million-gigawatt-hour Energy Storage Challenge
Nov 2021
Publication
The energy system of the United States requires several million gigawatt hours of energy storage to meet variable demand for energy driven by (1) weather (heating and cooling) (2) social patterns (daily and weekday/weekend) of work play and sleep (3) weather-dependent energy production (wind and solar) and (4) industrial requirements. In a low-carbon world four storage options can meet this massive requirement at affordable costs: nuclear fuels heat s Read More
Electrolyzers Enhancing Flexibility in Electric Grids
Nov 2017
Publication
This paper presents a real-time simulation with a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)-based approach for verifying the performance of electrolyzer systems in providing grid support. Hydrogen refueling stations may use electrolyzer systems to generate hydrogen and are proposed to have the potential of becoming smarter loads that can proactively provide grid services. On the basis of experimental findings electrolyzer systems with balance of plant are obse Read More
Numerical Predictions of a Swirl Combustor Using Complex Chemistry Fueled with Ammonia/Hydrogen Blends
Jan 2020
Publication
Ammonia a chemical that contains high hydrogen quantities has been presented as a candidate for the production of clean power generation and aerospace propulsion. Although ammonia can deliver more hydrogen per unit volume than liquid hydrogen itself the use of ammonia in combustion systems comes with the detrimental production of nitrogen oxides which are emissions that have up to 300 times the greenhouse potential of carbon dioxide. This fact Read More
