The work includes a conceptual design, including a technoeconomic study, technology gap assessment, maturation plan, and commercialization plan of a nominal 50-megawatt hours (MWh) electrolysis-based hydrogen energy storage system. The project investigated optimal sizing, design, and integration of a hydrogen energy storage system with an existing 14.3-megawatt (MW) gas turbine supplying both electricity and thermal power at the Clemson University combined heat and power (CHP) plant. It is anticipated that the integration of H2 storage with CHP will be able to provide the Clemson campus with backup capability (power and steam) that includes on-site solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays and separate battery energy storage. Power electronic conversion technologies are of key relevance to hydrogen storage for decarbonizing fossil fuel generators at all levels of this project.","PeriodicalId":13049,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Electronics Magazine","volume":"27 1","pages":"28-33"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41297192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In that paper, the potential for converting ambient energy into electrical energy to enable green power supplies of IoT key components, such as autonomous sensor nodes is evaluated. The white paper provides an overview of energy harvesting, ranging from state-of-art technology research, through barriers in developing commercial off-the-shelf products, to a critical assessment of several EH powered wireless sensor case studies. Issues in cost-benefit and life-cycle impacts are identified. For these issues, a concerted strategy in research and technology is recommended, incorporating disruptive industrial product developments, and innovations to ensure that the advantages of EH are utilized in widespread future IoT deployment. Building on the findings of that work, this article provides a brief overview of key innovation and emerging research needs in order to increase the suitability and readiness of energy harvesting technology for industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":13049,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Electronics Magazine","volume":"10 1","pages":"57-64"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49366511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
