A pivotal ambition to aid global decarbonisation efforts is green electrolytic hydrogen produced with renewable energy. Prolonged operation of water electrolysers induces cell degradation decreasing production efficiency and gas yield over the lifespan of the electrolyser stack. Considerations for degradation modelling is seen to a varying extent in previous literature. This work shows the effects of including degradation modelling within exist Read More

During the development of hydrogen fuel cell systems with the augmentation of power conventional air-cooling systems which are frequently employed in portable scenarios encounter difficulties in maintaining the balance between radiator heat dissipation and power consumption. In contrast liquid-cooling systems are widely adopted in high-power applications. In this regard aiming to address the heat dissipation problem and make use of the wastew Read More

The turbocharged dual-fuel engine is modeled and connected online to optimiser platform for transient input variation of input parameters decided by designed algorithms. This task is undertaken to enable intelligent control of the propulsion system including the Hydrogen injection instantly to reduce the thermal irreversibility. Therefore two methods of optimisation are applied to data collected from a turbocharged dual fuel operated propulsion sys Read More

The decarbonization of the maritime sector represents a priority in the energy policy agendas of the majority of Countries worldwide and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has recently revised its strategy aiming for an ambitious zero-emissions scenario by 2050. In these regards there is a broad consensus on hydrogen as one of the most promising clean energy vectors for maritime transport and a key towards that goal. However to date a Read More

New flow metering challenges are presented by the energy transition program since the available and new infrastructures might be used to transport energy using energy vectors such as hydrogen-enriched natural gas mixtures including blends never adopted before in current distribution lines. In this framework it is necessary to have the possibility to verify the performance of flowmeters which are currently calibrated using natural gas and nitrogen as refer Read More

Adopting machine learning (ML) in hydrogen systems is a promising approach that enhances the efficiency reliability and sustainability of hydrogen power systems and revolutionizes the hydrogen energy sector to optimize energy usage/management and promote sustainability. This study explores hydrogen energy systems including production storage and applications while establishing a connection between machine learning solutions and the challen Read More

In this article we draw on findings from a mixed-methods international survey of experts in the energy sector (n = 179) to better understand the role of legitimacy theory in informing the development of renewable hydrogen standards certification and labelling (SCL). The investigation is viewed through two conceptions of legitimacy: the sociological legitimacy of increasing the availability of renewable hydrogen technologies and the normative legitima Read More

This study conducts a thorough review of fuel cell technology including types economy applications and V2G scheme. Fuel cells have been considered for diverse applications namely electric vehicles specialty vehicles such as warehouse forklifts public transportation including buses trains and ferries. Other applications include grid-related stationary and portable applications. Among available five types of fuel cells PEMFC is presently the optimal choic Read More

Solar photovoltaic (PV)-based electricity production has gained significant attention for residential applications in recent years. However the sustainability and economic feasibility of PV systems are highly dependent on their grid-connected opportunities which may diminish with the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources into the grid. Therefore securing reliable energy storage is crucial for both grid-connected and off-grid PV-based reside Read More

Maximizing hydrogen utilization is crucial for improving the efficiency of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems. Ideally all supplied hydrogen reacts within the fuel cell. However nitrogen and water backdiffusion necessitate periodic purging of the anode recirculation path. Excessive purging leads to hydrogen losses while insufficient purging increases side reactions lowering fuel cell voltage and directly reducing effi ciency. This study investigate Read More
