Can hydrogen storage be integrated with rooftop photovoltaic systems?

This study focused on the modelling and optimization of hydrogen storage integrated with combined heat and power plants and rooftop photovoltaic systems in an energy system in central Sweden. Three different scenarios (S0–S2) were designed to investigate the impacts on the system flexibility and operational strategy.

What is solar PV-E for hydrogen production?

Solar PV-E for hydrogen production converts fluctuating PV electricity to stable chemical energy, and provides a stable and time-shifted energy source to support the power grid and address practical energy demands. In addition, the products of water electrolysis (H2, O 2) are produced separately at the two electrodes of the electrolytic cell.

Can a hydrogen storage system be used for stand-alone electricity production?

Substituting renewable energy, typically WT and solar modules reduces harmful emissions significantly. In this context, linking hydrogen storage systems is researched for stand-alone electricity production, allowing for increased load demand adaptability for long-term ES .

Can hydrogen energy storage improve energy sustainability?

Bibliometric analysis was used to identify potential future research directions. Hydrogen energy storage systems (HydESS) and their integration with renewable energy sources into the grid have the greatest potential for energy production and storage while controlling grid demand to enhance energy sustainability.

Can hydrogen storage meet a power deficit in a regional energy system?

The regional energy system including the CHP plants and heat-only boilers integrated with rooftop PV systems and power-to-gas storage is considered as the reference scenario. The other scenarios are described to investigate the potential of the hydrogen storage and the fuel cell application to meet the deficit of power supply in the system.

How efficient is solar hydrogen production?

The most efficient solar hydrogen production schemes, which couple solar cells to electrolysis systems, reach solar-to-hydrogen (STH) energy conversion efficiencies of 30% at a laboratory scale3.
