Renewable energies characterization and the development of hybrid renewable energy hydrogen systems

Abstract

There are many energy consuming applications which are beyond the realm of a distributed power network. The renewable energy is one of the alternative energy sources to overcome this problem. Hence, switching to alternative clean energy sources such as solar, wind, wave etc., could also provide solution to problems associated with traditional energy use such as, adverse effects on human health, regional and global environment, security issues and economics. However, using potentially clean energy resources on a large scale comes with technical challenges like regional availability, intermittence, and some inconvenience. A hybrid, renewable energy hydrogen system could be an elegant solution to these challenges.
