Binzhou hydrogen energy storage

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.

What is CB & hydrogen storage?

The integrated system utilizes CB as a basic load for large-scale energy storage, while incorporating hydrogen storage as a flexible regulating load to rapidly respond to fluctuations in electricity supply and demand.

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 .

Can energy storage combine CB and hydrogen?

This study proposes an integrated energy storage system combining CB with hydrogen energy storage. During the energy storage process, CB acts as the base load to absorb large-scale surplus electricity, while PEMEC serves as the regulating load, flexibly absorbing fluctuating power.

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.

How is hydrogen stored in a CB subsystem?

Meanwhile, hydrogen generated at the cathode (State1) is compressed to 240 bar (State 2) using a compressor (COM1). The heat generated during compression is recovered by the CB subsystem through a heat exchanger (EXC1). The cooled hydrogen (State 3) is then stored in a high-pressure storage tank for future use.
