Feasibility of Hydrogen Energy Systems.

Efficiency of hydrogen production systems using alternative nuclear energy technologies

Nuclear energy can be used as the primary energy source in centralized hydrogen production through high-temperature thermochemical processes, water electrolysis, or high-temperature steam electrolysis. Energy efficiency is important in providing hydrogen economically and in a climate friendly manner. High operating temperatures are needed for more efficient thermochemical and electrochemical hy...

Optimal Energy Management and Feasibility Study of a Hybrid Energy System for a Remote Area

This paper investigates impacts of possible chances in energy policy and consumption behavior on optimal energy management and feasibility study of a hybrid energy system. The study was performed on a remote area near Esfarjan, a village located in Shahreza, Iran. In the main scenario, the current energy policy is applied while the consumption behavior of customers is studied by means of an inc...

Tuning the plasmon energy of palladium-hydrogen systems by varying the hydrogen concentration.

First-principles calculations are performed to obtain the dielectric function and loss spectra of bulk PdH(x). Hydrogen concentrations between x = 0 and 1 are considered. The calculated spectra are dominated by a broad peak that redshifts in energy with x. The obtained bulk dielectric function is employed to compute the loss spectra of PdH(x) spherical nanoparticles as a function of x. The domi...
