Also, hydrogen has a high energy density and can be utilized in a wide range of applications. It is indeed the fuel of the future but, it is still not entirely apparent how to analyze the most successful ways for hydrogen storage based on technological configuration, nature, and efficiency mechanisms. The historical hydrogen storage technologies as they are presented by the current research have been evaluated, analyzed, and examined in this study. The two categories of hydrogen storage systems are physical-based and material-based.The first category involves storing hydrogen as liquid, cold/cryo-compressed, and compressed gas. Chemical sorption/chemisorption and physical sorption/physisorption are the two primary sub-groups of material-based storage, respectively. The quantitative and qualitative analyses of storage technologies for hydrogen are evaluated in this paper. Also, this report reviews the major safety and reliability issues currently facing hydrogen storage systems. Suggestions are made to assist lay the groundwork for future risk and reliability analysis to ensure safe, dependable operation.展开更多

The results showed that a maximum hydrogen production rate of 7.43 m3 H2/m3 reactor·d and an average hydrogen production rate of 6.44 m3 H2/m3 reactor·d were achieved with the hydrogen content of 50%～56% in the biogas during the 90-day operation. At the acidogenic phase, COD removal rate was stable at about 15%. In the steady operation period, the main liquid end products were ethanol and acetic acid, which represented ethanol type fermentation. Among the liquid end products, the concentration percentage of ethanol and acetic acid amounted to 69.5%～89.8% and the concentration percentage of ethanol took prominent about 51.7%～59.1%, which is better than the utilization of substrate for the methanogenic bacteria. An ethanol type fermentation pathway was suggested in the operation of enlarged industrial continuous hydrogen bio-producing reactors.展开更多

While HSW comprised of 72% general healthcare waste (non-risk) and 28% hazardous waste. The average general waste composition was: 38% organic, 24% plastics, and 20% paper. The potential of hydrogen energy produced from biogas in Misrata including MSW, and other organic feedstock such as food and kitchen waste, animal wastes, clover and reeds, wheat residues, barley residues, HSW and sewage waste as biomass sources. The total potential hydrogen output is estimated to be around 10,265 tons per year.展开更多

Albeit he did not succeed, his legacy lives on. In this paper, we begin with the general relativistic field equations describing flat spacetime, but stimulated by vacuum energy fluctuations. In our precursor paper, after straightforward general relativistic calculations, the resulting covariant and contravariant energy-momentum tensors were identified as n-valued operators describing graviton excitation. From these two operators, we were able to generate all three boson masses (including the Higgs mass) in precise agreement as reported in the 2010 CODATA (NIST);moreover local, as-well-as large-scale, accelerated spacetimes were shown to naturally occur from this general relativized quantum physics approach (RQP). In this paper, applying the same approach, we produce an n-valued Coulombs Force Law leading to the energy spectrum for atomic hydrogen, without assuming quantized atomic radii, velocity and momentum, as Bohr did.展开更多

At the acidogenic phase, COD removal rate was stable at about 15%. In the steady operation period, the main liquid end products were ethanol and acetic acid, which represented ethanol type fermentation. Among the liquid end products, the concentration percentage of ethanol and acetic acid amounted to 69.5%～89.8% and the concentration percentage of ethanol took prominent about 51.7%～59.1%, which is better than the utilization of substrate for the methanogenic bacteria. An ethanol type fermentation pathway was suggested in the operation of enlarged industrial continuous hydrogen bio-producing reactors.
文摘This study presents an overview on solid waste that can be used as a source of bioenergy in Misrata including municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial solid waste (ISW), and healthcare solid waste (HSW) as biomass sources. The management of solid waste and valorization is based on an understanding of MSW’s and HSW’s composition and physicochemical characteristics. Of MSW’s, the results show that organic matter represents 59% of waste, followed by paper-cardboard 12%, miscellaneous 10%, plastic 8%, metals 7% and glass 4%. While HSW comprised of 72% general healthcare waste (non-risk) and 28% hazardous waste. The average general waste composition was: 38% organic, 24% plastics, and 20% paper. The potential of hydrogen energy produced from biogas in Misrata including MSW, and other organic feedstock such as food and kitchen waste, animal wastes, clover and reeds, wheat residues, barley residues, HSW and sewage waste as biomass sources. The total potential hydrogen output is estimated to be around 10,265 tons per year.

文摘Hydrogen(H2)is an essential vector for freeing our societies from fossil fuels and effectively initiating the energy transition.Offering high energy density,hydrogen can be used for mobile,stationary,or industrial applications of all sizes.This perspective on the crucial role of hydrogen is shared by a growing number of countries worldwide(e.g.,China,Germany,Japan,Republic of Korea,Australia,and United States),which are publishing ambitious roadmaps for the development of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies,supported by substantial financial efforts.
文摘Though not well-known, Einstein endeavored much of his life to general-relativize quantum mechanics, (rather than quantizing gravity). Albeit he did not succeed, his legacy lives on. In this paper, we begin with the general relativistic field equations describing flat spacetime, but stimulated by vacuum energy fluctuations. In our precursor paper, after straightforward general relativistic calculations, the resulting covariant and contravariant energy-momentum tensors were identified as n-valued operators describing graviton excitation. From these two operators, we were able to generate all three boson masses (including the Higgs mass) in precise agreement as reported in the 2010 CODATA (NIST);moreover local, as-well-as large-scale, accelerated spacetimes were shown to naturally occur from this general relativized quantum physics approach (RQP). In this paper, applying the same approach, we produce an n-valued Coulombs Force Law leading to the energy spectrum for atomic hydrogen, without assuming quantized atomic radii, velocity and momentum, as Bohr did.

文摘Due to the uncertainty of renewable energy power generation and the non-linearity of load demand,it becomes complicated to determine the capacity of each device in hybrid renewable energy power generation systems.This work aims to optimize the capacity of two types of the off-grid hybrid wind-hydrogen energy system.We considered the maximum profit of the system and the minimum loss of power supply probability as optimization goals.Firstly,we established steady-state models of the wind turbine,alkaline electrolyzer,lead-acid battery,and proton exchange membrane fuel cell in matrix laboratory software to optimize the capacity.Secondly,we analyzed the operating mode of the system and determined two system structures(system contains batteries whether or not).Finally,according to the wind speed and load in the sample area,we compared the economics of the two systems and selected the optimal configuration for the area.In the same calculation example data,the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II(NSGA-II)is used to optimize the capacity of each device in the two systems.The results showed that the profit of the without battery-equipped system is 32.38%higher than another system.But the power supply reliability is the opposite.To avoid the contingency of the calculation results,we used the traditional genetic algorithm(GA)and ant colony optimization(ACO)to calculate the same example.The results showed that NSGA-II is significantly better than GA and ACO in terms of iteration steps and calculation results.The required architecture for the System-I composes of 3 numbers of 10 kW wind turbines,61 sets of 12 V·240 Ah leadacid batteries,8 kW electrolytic cell,and 6 kW PEMFC.The net profit and LPSP are ¥44,315 and 0.01254 respectively.The required architecture for the System-II composes of 2 numbers of 10 kW wind turbines,24 kW electrolytic cells,and 18 kW PEMFC.Net profit and LPSP are ¥58,663 and 0.03244,respectively.This paper provided two schemes for the optimal configuration of the hybrid wind-hydrogen energy system in islanding mode,which provided a theoretical basis for practical engineering applications.
