Redox-Flow Cell for Low-Cost Hydrogen Production and Storage
Low-Cost and Sustainable. Eliminates the use of costly and scarce precious metal catalysts, such as platinum. More Efficient. The redox-flow cell uses about half the voltage of a traditional electrolyzer to produce hydrogen. Carbon-Free. Renewable energy can supply the necessary electricity to produce hydrogen. Better Durability.
Bond graph modeling, design and experimental validation of a photovoltaic/fuel cell/ electrolyzer/battery
The electrolyzer is plugged in to fill the hydrogen storage tank and to prevent gas from the battery. From 14 h to 18 h, when the power requested by the load has started to increase, the power supplied by the fuel cell is zero and the power produced by the photovoltaic generator decreases (because the irradiance values decrease).
