Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, Advanced Hybrid Power System Controls and their Role in Transfiguring the Grid
Distribution generation (DG) and microgrids integrated into the nation's distribution grid are the future of the nation's power supply; at the heart of any distributed generation model is reliable and resilient locally produced electricity. Developing [...]
Zn(Ⅱ)-Based Metal-Organic Framework/Nafion® Composite Membrane with High Proton Conductivity for Fuel Cell Applications
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can serve as a scaffold to anchor acidic groups and provide efficient proton transfer pathways owing to their highly ordered structures and modular nature. Intentional coordination of MOFs with a conductive polymer [...]
Lower-cost Hydrogen (H2) Fuel Production from Distributed Wind via Paralleled Self-Excited Induction Generators (SEIG’s) & Close-coupled Electrolysis at Multi-turbine Off-grid Windplants
We may significantly reduce the cost of wind-source hydrogen fuel generation by simplifying the design, capex, and O&M costs of wind turbines, windplants, and electrolysis plants, by: 1. Designing the turbines with simple, robust, low-cost, [...]
The maximization of hydrogen rhythmic production in large scale photobioreactors from genetically modified microalgae biomass
Dias F.G., Vargas J.V.C., Kava V., Ordonez J.C., Balmant W., Mariano A.B., Federal University of Parana, BR
A transient mathematical model for managing microalgae derived hydrogen production as a source of renewable energy is developed for large scale compact photobioreactors (PBR). The model allows for the determination of microalgae and hydrogen mass [...]
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell R&D
This solid oxide fuel cell program focuses on research and development to enable generation of efficient, cost effective electricity from coal and natural gas and on stack and system development to help develop smaller, highly [...]
Improving Hybrid Efficiency and Flexibility by Integrating Thermal Energy Storage into the Fuel Cell System
Power plants must be flexible in operation to meet changing load requirements throughout the day while ensuring economic feasibility. As renewable energy systems penetrate the market producing inconsistent power, the primary concern of power plants [...]
