WEEX : Hydrogen - S5-S6-S7

This course aims to increase the students awareness about energy ressources and their management. The students form a team of engineers engaged to analyze the feasibility of an energy autonomous residential aera with zero carbon emissions. The district is powered by solar panels and a long term hydrogen storage system. In order to achieve this goal, each team has to mobilize their technical knowledges and soft skills.

• Introduction to hydrogen systems for energy-autonomous residential area
• Study of PV technologies, electrolyzer and fuel cell
• Sizing of PV system, power electronics and hydrogen boiler
• Study of material properties for hydrogen storage
• Design of openings in the storage area to ensure security, selection of H2 and/or smoke sensors
• Technical and economic analysis of the PV + H2 system using HOMER Pro software
• Conference linked with the topic made by an external speaker
