Proceedings of EFC2017European Fuel Cell Technology & Applications Conference - Piero Lunghi ConferenceDecember 12-15, 2017, Naples, ItalyEFC17145 POWER-TO-HYDROGEN AND HYDROGEN-TO-X: LATEST RESULTS OF TASK 38 OF THE IEA HYDROGEN IMPLEMENTING AGREEMENTP. Lucchese1, C. [...]

One of the main advantages of fuel cell based mobility over other sustainable mobility concepts is the flexible production of hydrogen via electrolysis. To date, it is unclear how electrolysis at hydrogen refueling stations should be operated in order to achieve the lowest possible costs despite the constraints of hydrogen demand. [...]

SUPPLYING THE JAPANESE TRANSPORT SECTOR WITH WIND-GENERATED HYDROGEN FROM OVERSEASPhilipp-Matthias Heuser1, Markus Reuß1, Thomas Grube1, Martin Robinius1, and Detlef Stolten1, 21 Institute of Electrochemical Process Engineering (IEK-3), Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Germany2 Chair for Fuel Cells, RWTH Aachen Universtiy, c/o Institute of Electrochemical Process Engineering (IEK-3), Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, GermanySUMMARY: This study examines the technological and economic potential for Japan to import renewable energy from overseas in the form of hydrogen and strives to determine the cost curve for the respective hydrogen production regimes on the basis of wind energy, depending on the degree of wind potential utilization and the necessary import volumes. The overall costs of such hydrogen are composed of the levelized costs of wind electricity in the producing countries and the supply chain costs, depending on the transport distance [...]

Impact of Wind Year Selection on the Design of Optimized Energy Systems with Variable Renewable Energy SourcesDilara Gulcin Caglayan 1, Jochen Linssen 1, Martin Robinius 1, Detlef Stolten 1,2 1 Institute of Energy and Climate Research - Electrochemical Process Engineering (IEK-3)Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH, 52425 Juelich, Germany2 Chair for Fuel Cells, RWTH Aachen University, c/o Institute of Energy and Climate Research - Electrochemical Process Engineering (IEK-3)Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH, 52425 Juelich, Germanyd.caglayan@fz-juelich.de, j.linssen@fz-juelich.de, m.robinius@fz-juelich.de, d.stolten@fz-juelich.deABSTRACT Renewable energy sources (RES) will play a crucial role in future sustainable energy systems. For analyzing scenarios concerning the future energy systems design, spatio-temporal modeling of the electricity generation of renewable energies is essential. [...]

The need for more flexibility options in the European power system will keep increasing with higher shares of intermittent power sources. Besides grid reinforcement and storage options, one of the promising candidates that can mitigate power curtailments would be a more flexible electricity demand, which could better follow the increasing variability of generation. [...]

ICREN Conference:Title: Economically-Limited Onshore Wind Capacity and Production in European NationsAbstract:In the context of meeting CO2 emission reduction targets to fulfill climate action plans, expansion of renewable energy sources into future energy systems represents a common research theme. Onshore wind turbines currently hold one of the highest shares in renewable electricity generation worldwide, with the second highest growth over the last 25 years [1], which will surely continue in the future [...]

A Generic and Highly Scalable Framework for the Automation and Execution of Scientific Data Processing and Simulation WorkflowsAbstract—In order to perform complex data processing and co-simulation workflows for research on data driven energy systems, a generic, modular and highly scalable process operation framework is presented in this article. This framework consistently applies web technologies to build up a microservices architecture [...]

Whether the brain employs the temporal domain for the representation of information is still a matter of ongoing debates. Theory and experiments point toward an entanglement of firing rates and correlations [1]. [...]

The effective action or Gibbs Free Energy is the central quantity to study phase transitions and is at the core of effective theories constructed, for example, by the renormalization group. It is known that only one-line-irreducible Feynman diagrams contribute in the case that the theory, about which one expands, is Gaussian. [...]

Thin film deposition of garnet electrolytes for high energy density all-solid-state lithium batteriesIn recent years battery research concentrated on reaching batteries with high energy and power density and high safety at the same time. A combination of high-voltage cathode materials and solid electrolytes are one approach to fulfill the requirements of future cell technologies. [...]
