The Energy and Exergy Analysis of Integrated Hydrogen Production System Using High Temperature Steam Electrolysis with Optimized Water Path (RESEARCH NOTE)
Authors
Abstract:
In this research, solar-drived integrated Hydrogen production (HP) using high-temperature steam electrolysis (HTSE) is thermodynamically evaluated. This system includes an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), Rankine cycle, Brayton cycle, solar tower, and High Temperature Steam Electrolysis (HTSE). Solar energy supplies thermal energy. This heat source is applied for generating power. This energy is used for HTSE due to its demand in the form of electricity. First, we calculated inlet and outlet energy and their rates for whole subsystems. The results showed 50.77% overall and 31.63% exergy efficiencies related to power generation section and 92.85% overall energy and 91% exergy efficiencies related to hydrogen production section. Also in this research we found the importance of auxiliary equipment. Auxiliary equipment helps that significant amount of hydrogen production to be saved. This amount at 577 K is equal that produces 0.093 kg H2/s

Hydrogen Production via CH4 and CO Assisted Steam Electrolysis
Porous composite anodes consisting of a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) backbone that was impregnated with CeO2 and various amounts of metallic components including Cu, Co and Pd were fabricated. The performance of these anodes was then tested in a solid oxide water electrolysis cell under conditions where the anode was exposed to the reducing gasses H2, CH4 and CO. The reducing gasses were us...

Water electrolysis is one of the simplest methods used for hydrogen production. It has the advantage of being able to produce hydrogen using only renewable energy. To expand the use of water electrolysis, it is mandatory to reduce energy consumption, cost, and maintenance of current electrolyzers, and, on the other hand, to increase their efficiency, durability, and safety. In this study, moder...
