Infos

'Hydrogen-based Autonomous Power Systems' analyses the introduction of hydrogen energy technologies in autonomous power systems based on renewable energy sources (RES). The book contains a review of hydrogen technologies suitable for RES-based autonomous power systems, presents already-existing demonstration hydrogen-based power systems, and provides concrete examples for the integration of hydrogen technologies into existing autonomous power systems. Technical and economic analyses of hydrogen-based power systems are included, with illustrations and graphs, which are a useful tool for conducting pre-feasibility analyses of such power systems. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and students in the fields of hydrogen energy technologies, renewable energy power systems, and distributed generation.

Dr Nikolaos Lymberopoulos currently works for the Centre of Renewable Energy Sources, Pikermi, Greece.

Dr Emmanuel Zoulias works for the RES and Hydrogen Technologies Integration Section, and is Head of RES and Hydrogen Technologies Laboratory at the Centre for Renewable Energy Sources, Pikermi, Greece. He holds a Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens.
