Abstract
Sheds light on the
feasibility of adopting hydrogen as a key
energy carrier and fuel source in the near future. Authors demonstrate that hydrogen has several advantages, as well
as some disadvantages.
Their research shows that hydrogen will be a key player in storing
energy that iscurrently wasted at the generation stage in large-scale power
grids by off-peak diversion to dummy loads. The paper also presents the levels
of risk in production, storage and distribution
stages. Authors propose possible
techniques to address safety issues. They show that storage in small to medium
scale containers is much more economical compared to doing the same using
large-scale containers.
