In this paper two hydrogen production systems for the development of small size refueling stations are studied. The hydrogen is produced by renewable energy and the systems are sized for self-sustaining the electric power requirements. In the first one the hydrogen is produced by the steam reforming of biogas generated in an anaerobic digester and the electric power for the plant operation is supplied by a PEMFC power module. In the second one, the hydrogen production is performed by using an electrolyzer and the electric power for its operation and for all plant auxiliaries is generated by a PV power plant. The systems performances have been compared form energy and economic points of view. The hydrogen production efficiency and the levelized cost of the hydrogen (LCOH) have been considered as comparison parameters.

Abstract
In this paper two hydrogen production systems for the development of small size refueling stations are studied. The hydrogen is produced by renewable energy and the systems are sized for self-sustaining the electric power requirements. In the first one the hydrogen is produced by the steam reforming of biogas generated in an anaerobic digester and the electric power for the plant operation is supplied by a PEMFC power module. In the second one, the hydrogen production is performed by using an electrolyzer and the electric power for its operation and for all plant auxiliaries is generated by a PV power plant. The systems performances have been compared form energy and economic points of view. The hydrogen production efficiency and the levelized cost of the hydrogen (LCOH) have been considered as comparison parameters.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
