Multi-objective optimization of an innovative integrated system for production and storage of hydrogen with net-zero carbon emissions

Bahram Ghorbani et al.

Summary: Global energy consumption is rapidly increasing, resulting in the depletion of traditional energy sources and a significant rise in greenhouse gas emissions. It is crucial to utilize sustainable energy sources and innovative approaches to mitigate CO2 emissions. This study proposes a novel hybrid structure for hydrogen production and storage with zero CO2 emissions. The design incorporates a high-temperature fuel cell for CO2 reduction and the generation of heat and power for hydrogen production and liquefaction. The hybrid configuration employs electro-thermochemical units, molten carbonate fuel cells, hydrogen liquefaction processes, and biogas upgrading technologies. Meta-heuristic algorithms and artificial intelligence are developed to optimize investment return period and energy/exergy efficiencies. Fuzzy Bellman-Zadeh, LINMAP, and TOPSIS techniques are used for decision-making in multi-objective optimization. The proposed configuration produces 108 kmol/h of liquid hydrogen, 18.88 MW power, 54 kmol/h of oxygen, and 3258 kmol/h of hot water. Performance evaluations based on pinch, sensitivity, exergy, and economic assessments show thermal efficiency of 78.21% and exergy efficiency of 64.83%. The largest portions of exergy destruction come from the fuel cells-gas turbine hybrid system (63.63%), electro-thermochemical unit (25.96%), and biogas upgrading technology (6.23%). The return period on investment, prime price of electricity, and net benefit are computed as 4.854 years, 0.0420 US$/kWh, and 15.73 million US$/years, respectively, using the energy potentials of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Enhancement of hydrogen production using dynamic magnetic field through water electrolysis

Purnami Purnami et al.

Summary: The application of dynamic magnetic field (DMF) in water electrolysis can increase hydrogen production by enhancing water kinetic energy and increasing the chance of ion transfer. Compared to static magnetic field (SMF), DMF weakens covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds to promote hydrogen formation. Additionally, DMF facilitates water splitting by shaking and aligning water molecules, providing energy to the molecules.
