In this study the optimal sizing of a hybrid battery/hydrogen Energy Storage System “ESS” is assessed via model-based parametric analysis in context real renewable microgrid located Huelva, Spain, supplying realtime monitored residential load (3.5 kW; 5.6 MWh/year) island mode. Four storage configurations (battery-only, H2-only, battery priority and H2 priority) are under different Management Strategies, analysing system performance parameters such as Loss Load “LL” (kWh;%), Over Production...
Herein, a novel methodology to perform optimal sizing of AC-linked solar PV-PEM systems is proposed. The novelty this work the proposition plant electrolyzer capacity ratio (AC/AC ratio) as optimization variable. impact AC/AC on Levelized Cost Hydrogen (LCOH) and deviation DC/AC when optimized specifically for hydrogen production are quantified. Case studies covering Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI) range 1400–2600 kWh/m2-year assessed. obtained LCOHs between 5.9 11.3 USD/kgH2 depending...
The energy transition is pushing towards a considerable diffusion of local communities based on renewable systems and coupled with storage or vectors to provide independence from fossil fuels limit carbon emissions. Indeed, the variable intermittent nature renewables make them inadequate satisfy end-users' electricity demand throughout whole day; thus, study systems, considering their seasonal behaviour (e.g., energy-power coupling, self-discharge loss, minimum state charge) fundamental...
The increasing penetration of renewable energy has led electrical storage systems to have a key role in balancing and the efficiency grid. Liquid air (LAES) is promising technology, mainly proposed for large scale applications, which uses cryogen (liquid air) as vector. Compared other similar large-scale technologies such compressed or pumped hydroelectric storage, use liquid medium allows high density be reached overcomes problem related geological constraints. Furthermore, when integrated...
Bioeconomy, as a key strategic innovation pillar, supports energy transition and involves biomass resource assessment its application. Biomass has an enormous potential to fulfil the domestic demand in Brazil. Hence, this study aims quantify theoretical, technical techno-economic of agricultural forestry residues generate electricity via thermochemical processes Brazil for 2018–2050 timeframe. The analysis was carried out integrated approach, according statistical reports literature data....
Electrical energy storage systems have a fundamental role in the transition process supporting penetration of renewable sources into mix. Compressed air (CAES) is promising technology, mainly proposed for large-scale applications, that uses compressed as an vector. Although first document literature on CAES appeared 1976 and commercial plant was installed 1978, this technology started to gain attention only decade 2000–2010, with remarkable scientific production output realization other...
The European Union defined the ambitious carbon-neutrality goal for 2050. Such a transition must be done gradually to avoid huge investments; therefore, medium-term energy planning of supply systems performed properly considering both economic and environmental aspects. Sector coupling measures aid achieve this target, although they require remarkable financial investment. This paper presents an innovative methodology university campus "Marche Polytechnic University" located in Italy towards...
