Abstract

This article discusses power-to-X technology by proposing an advanced system to generate green electricity and hydrogen. The proposed system is powered by an advanced concentrated parabolic photovoltaic thermal (CPV/T) hybrid system. A proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolyzer system is used for the hydrogen production process, with a multistage compression system to increase hydrogen pressure and regulate hydrogen temperature. Additionally, a heat recovery system is employed through the thermally regenerative electrochemical cycle (TREC). A parametric analysis was performed based on thermal resistance to investigate the effect of solar radiation, Reynolds number, lengths of both the receiver side and tube and ambient temperature. A mathematical model was developed and validated to investigate the integrated system performance. CPV/T achieved a maximum system efficiency of 85.4% at 1000 W/m2 and a side length of 0.2 m, with electrical and thermal contributions of 21.1% and 64.3%, respectively. With a tube length of 20 m, the maximum hydrogen flow rate reached 280 kg/h, requiring 2.5 TJ/h for production under a pressure of 750 bar. The TREC system showed a maximum electrical production contribution of about 25.4% at a Reynolds number equal to 3000 compared to the contribution of CPV/T cells.
