Renewable energy and hydrogen production

In recent years, the development of hydrogen as a new reliable energy source has become a trend and caught lots of attention from all over the world. Hydrogen is a fundamental element that can be produced via different processes, which can be classified into three main groups: green processes (electrolysis), carbon-treated processes (thermoconversion processes), and traditional processes (reforming processes). Hydrogen products were identified using their specific color such as green, blue, and brown hydrogen…

The paper will present background information on exergy theory; identify the core subsystems in an SMR plant coupled with storage systems in support of renewable energy and hydrogen production; perform a thermodynamic exergy analysis; determine the cost allocation among these subsystems; and calculate unit exergetic costs, unit exergoeconomic costs, and first and second law efficiencies.
