Solid–Solid Interfaces in Protonic Ceramic Devices: A Critical Review
2020
The literature concerning protonic ceramic devices is critically reviewed focusing the reader's attention on the structure, composition, and phenomena taking place at solid-solid interfaces. These interfaces play a crucial role in the overall device performance, and the relevance of understanding the phenomena taking place at the interfaces for the further improvement of electrochemical protonic ceramic devices is therefore stressed. The grain boundaries and heterostructures in electrolytic membranes, the electrode-electrolyte contacts, and the interfaces within composite anode and cathode materials are all considered, with specific concern to advanced techniques of characterization and to …
Analysis of 5 MW hydrogen power system with thermal energy storage
2013
Energy storage for further energy production has become a feasible option to deal with energy fluctuation, energy over production and energy shortcomings caused by the penetration of renewable energies. Hydrogen storage has been studied through mathematical model and simulation to predict its performance and technological feasibility. This thesis presents a model where a 5 MW electrolysis plant is simulated. The power plant consists on an electric input from renewable sources like wind turbines or photovoltaic panels. Electrolysis is done by a solid oxide cell that also produces electric power working as fuel cell. Thermal energy storage is added in order to recover heat released by the cel…
