Item ANALYSIS OF GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION USING SOLAR DISH STIRLING SYSTEM IN ANKARA REGION(2023-01-27) TROSTER, Frederick Can; DEVRİM, YılserThe world's energy demand is growing in parallel with the world's population and economy. In today's world, fossil fuels provide most of the electricity. By damaging the environment, the usage of fossil fuels endangers our future. Renewable energy sources are becoming more popular as technology advances. These eco-friendly supplies are critical for our future. Renewable energy is defined as energy derived from natural sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal. The sun is the most basic source of energy. Many systems have been developed to generate energy from the sun. Concentrated solar energy systems are becoming increasingly popular for generating solar energy. One of the concentrated systems, Solar Dish Stirling technology, attracts attention due to its great efficiency. This system, consisting of a dish with a mirror, a receiver, and a motor, can convert solar energy to electrical energy with 32% efficiency. Energy storage, in addition to energy generation, is critical for our future. One of the energy storage strategies, hydrogen production, looks promising for the future. The energy source used in hydrogen production is categorized. Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced using ecologically friendly, renewable energy sources. This zero-emission manufacturing approach is increasing in popularity. An electrolyzer is used in the generation of hydrogen. The water is split into hydrogen and oxygen by the electrolyzer. The separated hydrogen can be compressed with the help of a compressor and stored for later use. Green hydrogen production simulation in the Ankara region was investigated in this study using Solar Dish Stirling, one of the concentrated solar energy technologies. Solar Dish Stirling, PEM water electrolyzer, hydrogen compressor, and hydrogen tank for storage are all part of the system. The electrolyzer was powered by electricity generated by the Ripasso dish Stirling system. The offsetting approach has been implemented in the system. When there is insufficient radiation, but the total daily electricity generation is sufficient to run the electrolyzer, the electrolyzer and compressor are activated, and hydrogen production begins. The system can create more electricity and hydrogen in the summer than in the winter. The LCOE value was found 0.4595 $/kWh and compared to international values. Following the offset, strategy provides an advantage for the cost of the system. The system has a capacity of 47950 kW/h per year and can produce 377 kilograms of hydrogen per year. These systems are critical for our future. It will be a good solution to environmental challenges with growing technology and reduced investment costs.
