Design for a Standalone Hydrogen Plant A novel in Tripoli- Libya

2020 
This work is a novel provides an evaluation of hydrogen conversion technologies and proposes the establishment of an integrated solar-hydrogen power plant to provide daily electrical residential requirements in Tripoli. While planning the solar-hydrogen plant there are some factors that should be considered while establishing the project, including the residential electricity demand, the availability of water and sufficient sunlight, and the hydrogen production rate. The data calculation of the project is undertaken using (PVGIS) website to model the radiance and the amount of sunlight, and Excel for modelling the hydrogen demand and production. This paper presents a stand-alone solar hydrogen plant to cover the daily electricity demand of a residential unit consisting of six apartments. Solar power was obtained through International Global Radiation and PV panels, while hydrogen was acquired via water electrolysis. The system fulfilled the specified residence's electricity demand with enough electricity, with zero greenhouse gas emissions. This renewable solar-hydrogen community has demonstrated and clarified that it is possible to be fully reliant on renewable electricity daily. In addition, it is a real example of the efficiency and the effectiveness of hydrogen usage in energy storage, along with its high reliability as a substitute for oil and gas.
