The decreasing abundance of conventional energy resources of nature such as crude oil natural gas and coal is putting forward the issues of energy shortcoming for the future. With a sentiment of this most researchers are now directing either on non-conventional resources that already prevail or invent it. The most promising non-conventional energy resource is the hydrogen energy which can be used in fuel cell to get electricity. Therefore a num Read More

In order to enhance the durability of fuel cell systems in fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEVs) researchers have been dedicated to studying the degradation monitoring models of fuel cells under driving conditions. To predict the actual degradation factors and lifespan of fuel cell systems a semi-empirical and semi-physical degradation model suitable for automotive was proposed and developed. This degradation model is based on referen Read More

Huge and continuously growing non-renewable energy consumption due to human daily activities is accountable for the fossil fuel source crisis in recent decades. The growing concern about the emissions from internal combustion engines also impels the development of new energy sources to replace or reduce conventional non-renewable energy usage. In this context hydrogen is found to be a promising solution in internal combustion engines to a Read More

Interest in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from conventional power generation has increased the focus on the potential use of hydrogen to produce electricity. Numerous life-cycle assessment (LCA) studies of hydrogen-based power generation have been published. This study reviews the technological and methodological choices made in hydrogen-based power generation LCAs. A systematic review was chosen as the research method to achieve a c Read More

The number of demonstration projects with fuel cell buses has been increasing worldwide. The goal of this paper is to analyse prospects and barriers for fuel cell buses focusing on their economic- technical- and environmental performance. Our results show that the prices of fuel cell buses although decreasing over time are still about 40% higher than those of diesel buses. With the looming ban of diesel vehicles and current limitations of battery electric v Read More

As the world looks to implement the Energy Transition repurposing existing fossil fuel infrastructure to produce or distribute “clean” energy will be critical. The most promising is using natural gas pipelines for moving hydrogen. This is the cheapest and fastest method of transport and reducing the cost of transporting hydrogen is a key step in making it economically viable. However while there are technical challenges the greater challenge is in the legal arena. T Read More

Non grid connected wind power hydrogen production technology is of great significance for the large-scale comprehensive utilization of hydrogen energy and accelerating the development of clean energy. In this paper an electrolyzer power allocation and alternate control method for non grid connected wind power hydrogen production is proposed and the optimized control strategy are combined to predict the maximum wind power of certain time inte Read More

Renewable energy complementary hydrogen production can enhance the full consumption of renewable energy and reduce the abandonment of wind and solar power. The integration of renewable energy and hydrogen production equipment through existing multi-terminal DC systems can reduce new power lines construction and save investment in distribution equipment. For integrated renewable energy/hydrogen energy in an existing multi-terminal Read More

Vehicles using a single fuel cell as a power source often have problems such as slow response and inability to recover braking energy. Therefore the current automobile market is mainly dominated by fuel cell hybrid vehicles. In this study the fuel cell hybrid commercial vehicle is taken as the research object and a fuel cell/ battery/supercapacitor energy topology is proposed and an energy management strategy based on a doubledelay deep deterministic pol Read More

Background: The widespread use of sustainable energy technologies is a key element in the transformation of the energy system from fossil-based to zero-carbon. In line with this technology acceptance is of great importance as resistance from the public can slow down or hinder the construction of energy technology projects. The current study assesses the social acceptance of three energy technologies relevant for the German energy transition: st Read More
