Renewable energy carriers: Hydrogen or liquid air/nitrogen?

Application of Liquid Hydrogen with SMES for Efficient Use of Renewable Energy in the Energy Internet

Abstract: Considering that generally frequency instability problems occur due to abrupt variations in load demand growth and power variations generated by different renewable energy sources (RESs), the application of superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) may become crucial due to its rapid response features. In this paper, liquid hydrogen with SMES (LIQHYSMES) is proposed to play a rol...

Silicon as an intermediary between renewable energy and hydrogen

● Global reserves of coal, oil and natural gas are diminishing; global energy requirements however are dramatically increasing. Renewable energy sources lower the threat to the earth’s climate but are not able to meet the energy consumption in major urban areas. The opinion of many experts is that the future will be dominated by hydrogen. However, this gas is essentially totally manufactured fr...

Energy Carriers and Conversion Systems with Emphasis on Hydrogen

Renewable Liquid Fuels

B ecoming independent of crude oil imports, mainly from the Middle East, is an urgent concern for many countries all over the world. In order to secure a sustainable energy supply, especially in the transportation sector, governments need to apply policies that promote the use of renewable energy technologies. The dependence on crude oil imports decreases as the production of total energy from ...

Integrated Renewable Hydrogen Utility System

This paper describes the plans for a Phase II program recently awarded to Proton Energy Systems, Inc. (Proton) under cooperative agreement DE-FC36-98GO10341 with the Golden Field Office of the Department of Energy (DOE). The ultimate goal of this project is to enable the link to sustainability by converting excess renewable power into hydrogen and having that hydrogen available for conversion b...
