With a fuel cell stack lifetime of 50000 h, and a fuel cell system efficiency of 0.60, the reference case RHFC system would have an ESOIe ratio of 110 (Fig. 4). Table 4 ESOIe ratios for different RHFC system scenarios Table 5 Comparison of energy storage in RHFC and LIB systems using two different energy return ratios

Are solar cells a good choice for energy storage?

There are numerous conceivable solar cell and storage device combinations. Nonetheless, the power must be kept in reserve to offset the sun’s variable availability and the actual energy demand. This issue might be resolved by photo-rechargeable electric energy storage systems, which can store generated electricity right away.

Why does the ESOI E ratio of storage in hydrogen exceed a battery?

The ESOI e ratio of storage in hydrogen exceeds that of batteries because of the low energy cost of the materials required to store compressed hydrogen, and the high energy cost of the materials required to store electric charge in a battery.

How does energy-to-power ratio affect battery storage?

The energy-to-power ratio (EPR) of battery storage affects its utilization and effectiveness. Higher EPRs bring larger economic, environmental and reliability benefits to power system. Higher EPRs are favored as renewable energy penetration increases. Lifetimes of storage increase from 10 to 20 years as EPR increases from 1 to 10.
