Abstract
The present analysis investigates a hybrid energy storage system consisting of lead-acid batteries and a hydrogen storage tank using metal hydrides. A dynamic simulation is conducted for a 1000 m2 building, supported by photovoltaics and a hybrid storage system to meet annual appliance and lighting demands. The research focuses on optimal system sizing to minimize both grid electricity demand and total capital costs. Multi-objective optimization was conducted through a Dymola–Python NSGA-II algorithm interface, while energy simulations utilized the INTEMA.building tool. Results indicate an optimal solution with 118 lead-acid batteries (339.84 kWh) and a 4 kg H2 capacity of a metal hydride storage tank, achieving 99.2 % grid autonomy. Although the 40 kW and 50 kW PV systems achieve comparable energy autonomy (98 %), their total cost is doubled compared to the optimal solution due to increased demanded MH tank capacity (60 kg H2) to support the battery system, outperforming the total cost.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
