In this study the economic analysis of a biogas based-hydrogen refueling station is carried out, by considering the plant availability. A hydrogen rich gas stream, that is generated by a biogas processing unit based on the autothermal reforming process, is purified by means of a Pd-Ag membrane separation unit and is compressed up to 820 bars by using an ionic compressor system. An SOFC power unit fed with part of the syngas exiting the autothermal reactor supplies the electric power required from the hydrogen separation and storage section. In order to evaluate the variation of hydrogen cost, a sensitivity analysis, based on reliability performance and real operating conditions of the plant, has been performed.

Abstract
In this study the economic analysis of a biogas based-hydrogen refueling station is carried out, by considering the plant availability. A hydrogen rich gas stream, that is generated by a biogas processing unit based on the autothermal reforming process, is purified by means of a Pd-Ag membrane separation unit and is compressed up to 820 bars by using an ionic compressor system. An SOFC power unit fed with part of the syngas exiting the autothermal reactor supplies the electric power required from the hydrogen separation and storage section. In order to evaluate the variation of hydrogen cost, a sensitivity analysis, based on reliability performance and real operating conditions of the plant, has been performed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
