This review study attempts to critically compare Lithium-Ion Battery (LIB) and Regenerative Hydrogen Fuel Cell (RHFC) technologies for integration with PV-based systems. Initially a review of recent studies on PV-LIB and PV-RHFC energy systems is given, along with all main integration options.
Lithium ion batteries are able of achieving of 260 Wh/Kg, which is 151 energy per kg for hydrogen. Because of its energy density and its lightweight, hydrogen is being able to provide extended range without adding significant weight, which is a significant barrier of incorporating into aviation industry.
For hydrogen fuel vehicles, the hydrogen in the tank must be reconverted into electric power, which is done through fuel cell. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the fuel cell technology has the potential of achieving 60% of efficiency, with most of the rest of the energy lost as heat (U.S. Department of Energy, 2011).
Figure 3 shows the different stages of losses leading up to the 30% efficiency, compared to the battery’s 70-90% efficiency, since the stages of losses are much lower than hydrogen. Since this technology is still under development and improvement, it is lagging in streamlining its production.
The advantage of hydrogen as a fuel for electric vehicles is that it can be charged faster than batteries, in the order of minutes equivalent to gasoline cars. Also, the higher energy density than batteries means that it can drive much longer ranges and pack more energy in the same space than battery packs.
Based on the above energy analysis, on the lifecycle assessment of environmental impacts along the main hydrogen value chains, on the previous experience Portugal has on the production and consumption of hydrogen, the Portugal Roadmap for Hydrogen () was built, which included a multistage stakeholder involvement process.
