Book excerpt: Prospects of Hydrogen-fueled Power Generation brings together experts to explore the various challenges and opportunities of hydrogen as a fuel in power generation, transportation, storage, and safety. Special interest is given to proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) fuel cells, hydrogen energy, and the conversion methods. The usage of clean fuel in road transportation, marine transportation, and the power generation sector are also discussed in detail. Additionally, performance investigations reveal information about the system's energy and exergy analysis. Hydrogen-fueled power generation is the process of generating electricity using hydrogen as the primary fuel source. This process typically involves the conversion of hydrogen into electricity using fuel cells or combustion engines. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert hydrogen into electricity and water with no emissions other than water vapor. Combustion engines, on the other hand, burn hydrogen to produce heat, which is used to generate electricity through a turbine. The byproducts of hydrogen combustion are water and heat, with no harmful emissions. One advantage of hydrogen-fueled power generation is that it produces no harmful emissions, making it a clean and sustainable source of energy. Additionally, hydrogen is a highly abundant element that can be produced from a variety of sources, including natural gas, biomass, and renewable energy sources like solar and wind power.

Download or read book Solar Hydrogen Energy Systems written by Gabriele Zini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is just a matter of time when fossil fuels will become unavailable or uneconomical to retrieve. On top of that, their environmental impact is already too severe. Renewable energy sources can be considered as the most important substitute to fossil energy, since they are inexhaustible and have a very low, if none, impact on the environment. Still, their unevenness and unpredictability are drawbacks that must be dealt with in order to guarantee a reliable and steady energy supply to the final user. Hydrogen can be the answer to these problems. This book presents the readers with the modeling, functioning and implementation of solar hydrogen energy systems, which efficiently combine different technologies to convert, store and use renewable energy. Sources like solar photovoltaic or wind, technologies like electrolysis, fuel cells, traditional and advanced hydrogen storage are discussed and evaluated together with system management and output performance. Examples are also given to show how these systems are capable of providing energy independence from fossil fuels in real life settings.
Download or read book Tomorrow s Energy revised and expanded edition written by Peter Hoffmann and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-02-03 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the use of nonpolluting, zero-emission hydrogen as fuel could be the cornerstone of a new energy economy. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. An invisible, tasteless, colorless gas, it can be converted to nonpolluting, zero-emission, renewable energy. When burned in an internal combustion engine, hydrogen produces mostly harmless water vapor. It performs even better in fuel cells, which can be 2.5 times as efficient as internal-combustion engines. Zero-emission hydrogen does not contribute to CO2-caused global warming. Abundant and renewable, it is unlikely to be subject to geopolitical pressures or scarcity concerns. In this new edition of his pioneering book Tomorrow's Energy, Peter Hoffmann makes the case for hydrogen as the cornerstone of a new energy economy. Hoffmann covers the major aspects of hydrogen production, storage, transportation, fuel use, and safety. He explains that hydrogen is not an energy source but a carrier, like electricity, and introduces the concept of “hydricity,” the essential interchangeability of electricity and hydrogen. He brings the hydrogen story up to date, reporting on the latest developments, including new hydrogen and fuel-cell cars from GM, Daimler, BMW, Honda, and Toyota. He describes recent political controversies, including Obama administration Energy Secretary (and Nobel laureate in Physics) Steven Chu's inexplicable dismissal of hydrogen—which puts him at odds with major automakers, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and others. Our current energy system is a complex infrastructure, and phasing in hydrogen will take effort and money. But if we consider the real costs of fossil fuels—pollution and its effects, international tensions over gas and oil supplies, and climate change—we would be wise to promote its development.
