| Summary: | In this study, an integrated energy system is presented in which hydrogen is produced via the thermochemical cycle. The presented system would provide a potential solution for
storing excess electric power in terms of hydrogen generation for a sustainable community. Principles of exergy and energy are utilized to analyze the presented system in terms of exergy and energy efficiencies. The simulation result shows that with the help of the developed system, 0.36 kg/h of hydrogen can be generated, which is utilized via SOFCs to
produce and electrify the houses. Additionally, the developed system can supply 1000 kW of electric power with 3.6 kW of heating. With the use of the thermochemical cycle
considered in the present study, one can produce hydrogen with an energy efficiency of 79.6% and an exergy efficiency of 62.9%. Furthermore, to see the impact of different factors on
the operation of the developed system, a parametric study is also conducted by changing factors like solar irradiation, the inlet temperature of the molten salt, and the outlet
temperature of the solar collector. |
