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.

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 .

What is physical energy storage?

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

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 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 is hydrogen energy storage?

Hydrogen energy storage utilizes electrolytic cells and fuel cells for the conversion between electricity and hydrogen energy. For hydrogen production, the proton exchange membrane electrolysis cell (PEMEC) is renowned for its high electrolysis efficiency (58 %–70 % ) and economic advantages .
