Abstract
- Abstract: This paper describes the modelling and simulation of a wind-hydrogen system aimed at supplying electrical and thermal residential loads, where the thermal load is in part supplied by a catalytic hydrogen combustion device with hydrogen stored in a metal hydride system composed of a cluster of five metal hydride tanks equipped with a metal foam heat exchanger. The complete mathematical model has been developed from models available in literature and describing the different sub-systems that constitute the overall wind-hydrogen system. It has been later implemented in a multi-domain software environment to simulate system operations. Results over a year-long simulation show complete stand-alone capabilities, with an electrical efficiency and a combined heat and power efficiency of 8.2% and 12.5% respectively. At the end of the simulation period, a hydrogen annual surplus of 110.5 kg is left over which can, for instance, be used to feed a hydrogen powered car for about 9500 km. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
