This paper presents an overview of environmental evaluation for a photovoltaic-fuel cell hybrid power plant through the Ideal Point approach, which is one of multiobjective decision support systems. Its evaluation is carried out in terms of such tow criteria as land requirement for plant construction and lifetime CO2 emissions, and ten compared with conventional fossil fuel power plants. Fuel cell power system has been proven a viable technology to back up severe PV power fluctuations under inclement weather conditions. Fuel cell power generation, containing small land use, is able to alleviate the heavy burden of large surface requirement of PV power plants. In addition, the PV-fuel cell hybrid power system shows a very little potential for lifetime CO2 emissions.

An air-independent propulsion (AIP) system based on fuel cell technologies was developed for space and underwater applications in the present study. Hydrogen peroxide was selected as an oxidizer for space and underwater power applications where air independence is a must. Catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was used to generate oxygen and water. The pure oxygen was provided to a fuel cell and the water was stored separately. Sodium borohydride in the solid state was used as a hydrogen source in the present study. Pure hydrogen can be generated by a catalytic hydrolysis reaction. A fuel cell system was fabricated to validate the fuel cell based air-independent power system and was evaluated at the various conditions.

The unmanned underwater vehicle(UUV) requires the highly dense energy source because of its limited space. Especially, for the UUV designed for long-term operation, it should be reviewed first whether it is possible to install the energy source against required total power. Therefore, this study identifies whether it is possible to install the energy source for the energy requirement of the UUV. And fuel and oxidizer requirement for the fuel cell system are calculated to determine its location and layout inside of the vehicle. Finally, we design the closed type 1kW polymer-electrolytic fuel cell system and check the applicability to underwater operations with UUV.

In this study, a hydrogen fuel cell process based on methanol was developed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In Case1, the methanol fuel engine system was designed to investigate the emission of exhaust gas when methanol was supplied as fuel instead of gasoline to the engine. In Case2, a hydrogen fuel cell system was designed by adding a methanol reforming system to Case1. This hybrid system produced gray hydrogen and combined the output of the engine and fuel cell to drive the ship. However, gray hydrogen emits carbon in the process of producing hydrogen. To address this problem, a carbon capture and utilization (CCU) system was added to Case3. The CO2 of the flue gas discharged from Case2 was synthesized with gray hydrogen to produce blue methanol. The results of the case studies revealed that the optimal operating conditions were 220 ℃, 500 kPa, SCR = 1.0, and flow ratio = 0.7. The system of Case3 reduced carbon emissions by 42% compared with that Case1. Thus, the hybrid system of Case3 could considerably reduce the ship's CO2 emissions.
