Abstract

As renewable energy sources account for a larger portion of power generation, a hydrogen energy storage system (HESS) attracts attention for large capacity energy storage. At HESS, surplus electricity is used to produce hydrogen, and it is stored in compressed hydrogen tanks, and the hydrogen is utilized to generate electricity when electricity demand is high. Recently, liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) is proposed for hydrogen storage. LOHC is one of the hydrogen storage methods in which hydrogen is stored by the reaction with aromatic compounds. By using LOHC systems, high hydrogen storage density, and good safety are achievable. In this study, 20 Nm3/h class LOHC system with dibenzyltoluene (DBT) is designed. For the system design, catalytic performance, NMR analysis, and vapor pressure of DBT are evaluated, and a LOHC system composed of hydrogenation, dehydrogenation reactors, condenser, and adsorbent is designed for future demonstration.
