ENERGY BALANCE OF SOLAR HYDROGEN THE ECO-HOUSE

Energy system of the future will have to be cleaner and mach more efficient, flexible and reliable. Hydrogen is a clean and sustainable form of energy that can be used in mobile and stationary applications and is answer to satisfying many of our energy needs while reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse and gas emissions. The paper presents the power and mass balance of Eco-House Solar Hydrogen Energy system (ECO-House SHES). These will pave the way to study of electrolyzer, fuel cell, photovoltaic performance, and also a futuristic sustainable, environment friendly and bioclimatic residential dwellings. Sunlight hits the photovoltaic panels, which convert solar energy into DC electricity. Inverter will convert DC electric to AC electric, and this electricity will be used to run electrolyzer, and over current connected to grid. The hydrogen product of electrolyzer is stored in a storage tank at 150-200 psi pressure. The hydrogen will be converted to electricity by fuel cell unit, and also can supply fuel to household appliances. A data acquisition unit will take data of ambient temperature, PV cell temperature, Wind speed, air humidity, solar radiation, voltage and current of PV, connect to grid, to electrolyzer unit and electrolyzer cells stack, and electrical product of Fuel cell unit. Also flow rate hydrogen product of electrolyzer, hydrogen consumed of Fuel cell unit. The obiective is to improve the efficiency of the solar hydrogen energy system and it reliability
