- Energy Mix in the Production of HydrogenPublication . Pereira, Carlos; Coelho, Paulo; Fernandes, José; Gomes, MárioThis paper presents a study related to the production of electricity through a mini-hydro plant (MHP) and a photovoltaic (PV) system particularly sized for a location in Tomar (Portugal). A system based on this energy mix is adopted in order to produce hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) at high pressure for energy storage purposes. The main features of the different equipments chosen in this study are also presented in the paper.
- Hydrogen Production via Wastewater Electrolysis – An Integrated Approach ReviewPublication . Cartaxo, Marco; Fernandes, José; Gomes, Mário; Pinho, Henrique J. O.; Nunes, Valentim; Coelho, PauloHuman activities generate enormous amounts of wastewater. The hydrogen production from this new resource has gained attention as an emergent technology. Incorporating photovoltaic energy production with different electrolysis systems which can treat wastewaters and produce hydrogen simultaneously will lead to an environmentally-friendly and sustainable hydrogen production.
- Wastewater Electrolysis for Hydrogen ProductionPublication . Cartaxo, Marco; Fernandes, José; Gomes, Mário; Pinho, Henrique J. O.; Nunes, Valentim; Coelho, PauloDue to its highest gravimetric energy density, H2 has been regarded as the preferred clean-energy carrier, with potentially environmentally-friendly production through the solar-assisted WS. Since human activities generate enormous amounts of WW, H2 production from this new resource has gained attention as an emergent technology. This paper addresses the most relevant and current aspects of H2 production from WWEL, and electricity generation from RES. In this sense, the state of art of H2 production, especially from WS, is presented here, as well as the main approaches to electricity generation from RES, with the greatest potential for viability. A new approach on this matter, which is part of the work that is being developed by the authors of this study, was also herein presented.
- Net Zero Energy for Industrial and Commercial Microgrids: Approaches and ChallengesPublication . Bandeiras, Filipe; Gomes, Mário; Coelho, Paulo; Fernandes, JoséThis paper addresses the concept of net zero energy and net metering in efficient buildings in order to assist in the study and development of future microgrids for buildings with annual zero energy consumption. There are several definitions for zero energy buildings available in the literature with a distinct set of project goals and interests, but this work is focused on the definition that accounts for energy losses by converting each energy type to source energy. Finally, a case study is presented to evaluate whether four distinct all-electric buildings can achieve annual zero energy by deploying on-site renewable sources within their site boundary.
