From wave to jet and from jet to hydrogen: A promising hybrid system

摘要: Abstract One of the main challenges that our society must overcome in this century is finding alternative energy sources to fossil fuels. These, ideally, be inexpensive, less polluting than current fuels and available for a substantial time. promising hydrogen, which has great advantage it can produced by coupling renewable devices with water electrolysis. Several projects devoted connecting photovoltaic wind systems electrolysis have been successful; however, little research done into ocean wave converters The work here proposes basic system stores from waves form hydrogen. WEC considered novel design known as Blow-Jet, captures converts them jet. performance Blow-Jet found depend more on wavelength height. electrolyser results show, at 0.200 A 1.88 V, produces 0.082 Nl h −1 hydrogen efficiency ( η I ) 90.58%.
