Hydrogen storage for micro-grid application: a framework for ranking fuel cell technologies based on technical parameters

To securely address energy shortage and various environmental issues attributed to fossil fuel, the adoption of renewable is growing across globe. However, wind solar which form bulk emerging for micro-grid applications are intermittent need storage device backup. Due its environmentally friendly nature, use hydrogen as mechanism now being explored applications. due technical criteria fuel cell (FC) technologies used production, selecting most suitable alternative remains a challenge. This study uses evaluation based on distance from average solution, multicriteria decision making tool rank FC that can be produce in The analysis was 4 6 criteria. results show preferred technology application polymeric electrolyte membrane while least molten carbonate FC. It expected future would explore inclusion socio-economic application.
