Development of guidelines for the design of integrated hydrogen systems

摘要

As part of the International Energy Agency Hydrogen Implementing Agreemet, an evaluation tool to assist in the design, operation and optimization of hydrogen demonstration facilities is under development. Using commercially available flowsheet simulation software (ASPEN plus~( direct R)) as the integrating platform, this tool is designed to provide system developers with a comprehensive database or library of component models and an integrating platform through which these models may be linked. By combining several energy system components a conceptual design of an integrated hydrogen energy system can be made. As a part of the tool and connected to the library are design guidelines which can help finding the optimal configuration in the design process. The component categories considered include: production, storage, transport, distribution and end use of hydrogen.
