Hydrogen energy storage is one of the most popular chemical energy storage . Hydrogen is storable, transportable, highly versatile, efficient, and clean energy carrier . It also has a high energy density. As shown in Fig. 15, for energy storage application, off peak electricity is used to electrolyse water to produce hydrogen.
The development of hydrogen storage technologies is, therefore, a fundamental premise for hydrogen powered energy systems. Conventional technologies store the hydrogen as compressed gas and cryogenic liquid, while for large-scale applications, underground storage turns out to be a preferable method.
The electrolytic cell is the core of the hydrogen storage system, in which electrical energy is converted into heat and chemical water to obtain O 2 and hydrogen. The compressor is used to compress H 2 and store it in the high-pressure gas storage tank [18,19,29]. Fig. 10. Hydrogen storage system.
The hydrogen energy storage system is divided into four parts, namely, the power supply module, the electrolytic cell, the compression part, and the high-pressure gas storage, as shown in Fig. 10. From Fig. 5, it can be seen that the power supply module includes a DC/DC buck converter, LC inductor, and capacitor element.
During the discharge phase, the stored hydrogen is either used in fuel cell or burnt directly to produce electricity. One major drawback in using hydrogen for electricity storage is the substantial energy losses during a single cycle .
Hydrogen can also be stored on the surfaces of solids (by adsorption) or within solids (by absorption). HFTO conducts research and development activities to advance hydrogen storage systems technology and develop novel hydrogen storage materials.
