Mathematical and experimental basis to model energy storage systems composed of electrolyzer, metal hydrides and fuel cells

摘要: With the increased integration of renewable energies in distribution networks comes need for energy storage systems. Due to its characteristics, use hydrogen as an vector shows propitious features with this purpose. This study presents a type system composed electrolyzer, accumulator and fuel cells. To model system, it is necessary establish set physicochemical equations each component order integrate large number parameters variables dependent on operating conditions. describes real power plants consisting alkaline PEM cell metal hydrides. A description some practical tests plant included compare them simulated results. All steps are discussed purpose being used other similar characteristics.
