Analysis of the prospects of marine energy storage industry

How can energy storage systems meet the demands of large-scale energy storage?

To meet the demands for large-scale, long-duration, high-efficiency, and rapid-response energy storage systems, this study integrates physical and chemical energy storage technologies to develop a coupled energy storage system incorporating PEMEC, SOFC and CB.

Can a large-capacity hydrogen storage system meet the demand for energy storage?

For instance, if the portion of electricity with rapid fluctuations and the user’s peak load are relatively small, a larger-capacity CB could serve as the base load for energy storage, while a smaller-capacity hydrogen storage system could meet the demand for rapid-response energy storage.

How do energy and exergy analysis results improve system performance?

Mechanisms for enhancing system performance Energy and exergy analysis results indicate that the performance improvement of the proposed system is primarily due to the optimized arrangement of heat exchange processes and the efficient utilization of SOFC exhaust heat.

What is physical energy storage?

Physical energy storage includes mature technologies such as pumped hydro storage (PHS) and compressed air energy storage (CAES).

How to calculate RTE and exergy efficiency of hydrogen energy storage system?

The round-trip energy efficiency (RTE) and exergy efficiency of the hydrogen energy storage system are defined as follows: (21) χ h = η ex,h = W f + W e,H2 W e + W c,H2 where We,H2 is the power generated by the H2 expander of the SOFC subsystem, kW; Wc,H2 is the power input of the H2 compressor of the PEMEC subsystem, kW.

What are the different types of energy storage technologies?

Existing energy storage technologies can be categorized into physical and chemical energy storage . Physical energy storage accumulates energy through physical processes without chemical reactions, featuring advantages of large scale, low cost, high efficiency and long duration, but lacks flexibility .
