Hydrogen storage, water electrolysis and fuel cells for electric energy storage

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7327356
; ; ; ; ;

The Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), supported by the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA), has in progress a program to develop the technologies of electrochemical hydrogen production, storage and conversion to electricity in fuel cells as a method of utility energy storage. The process and physical configuration, performance and costs of such a system are presented and discussed, as well as the prognosis for eventual application in a utility system. The key requirement necessary to make hydrogen production attractive for utility applications is the flexible and maximum utilization of the capital facilities required for production, storage, and where applicable, electric conversion.
