Popis: Because of the intermittent behavior of renewable sources, efficient, reliable and clean energy storage technologies are needed to achieve a more stable and secure energy supply. In this context, hydrogen technologies play a key role because they can store large amount of energy for long time. In this study, a hydrogen-based electrical energy storage system, integrated with a solar power plant, is designed and analyzed from the energy perspective. The system consists of a photovoltaic power plant, an alkaline electrolysis unit, metal hydride tanks for hydrogen storage, a Li-ion battery unit and a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell module. The system is conceived for supplying a residential user. A numerical model is developed for sizing the system’s components and for evaluating their behaviors in terms of produced/stored electricity and hydrogen production. In this purpose, a sensitivity analysis varying PV plant size as well as the Li-ion battery capacity is performed for achieving the best compromise in terms of energy supply among all the considered power sources.
