Technical Analysis of a Novel Wind-Powered Hydrogen System for Sustainable Development

In the current analysis, a novel hybrid energy system operating on the basis of wind and hydrogen energy is designed. The simulation-based optimization has indicated the stochastic nature of wind power technology in comparison with hydrogen power specially when being integrated with the transportation network. The multi-criteria decision-making approach in the current analysis has also suggested that, among the examined cases, the most appropriate configuration of the hybrid energy system is leading to optimum levels of wind energy production, fuel flow rate, oxygen, hydrogen utilization, and stack consumption (including air and fuel) with the equivalents of 1,700 kW, 84 lpm, 75%, 717.37 kg/m(3), 140 lpm, and 48 lpm, respectively. The maximum net revenues of the entire hybrid system are estimated to be (sic)4,470 per month. It has been concluded that a transportation network fueled by wind and hydrogen systems can lead to a reduced level of environmental footprints.
