As hydrogen gains attraction as a clean energy medium, the demand for secure and efficient storage solutions becomes crucial.

摘要

As hydrogen gains attraction as a clean energy medium, the demand for secure and efficient storage solutions becomes crucial. While traditional compressed hydrogen tanks are widely utilized, they face size, safety, and efficiency challenges. This study examines the performance of a hybrid PV-driven system using solid-state hydrogen storage for residential buildings in the North American cities of Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. The hybrid system’s effectiveness in storing and utilizing hydrogen is assessed through dynamic simulations, considering various climatic conditions and energy demands of a typical residential dwelling. This study proposes an advanced methodology by incorporating the metal hydride tanks into the TRANSYS simulation platform through the development of a numerical code. The results indicate that Montreal exhibits the highest hydrogen production and grid dependency, requiring approximately 7.1 MWh of energy from the grid. Toronto closely follows, while the Vancouver case shows the lowest grid dependency with approximately 6.68 MWh. It is demonstrated that over half of the annual load is supplied by renewable sources in all cities, achieving a renewable factor of about 60%, which corresponds to the CO2 emissions ranging from 850.7 to 909.5 kg CO2/yr.
