Description
The University of Arizona student project focuses on generating clean hydrogen powered by renewable energy sources. This project involves designing, building, and testing a small prototype and creating a detailed plan for scaling up the project. The project spans various engineering disciplines: engineering management, systems engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and chemical engineering.
The project requires calculating the power output of a solar system on a monthly basis, considering regional sunlight data, determining how much hydrogen can be generated, and ultimately how much electrical power can be generated from the stored hydrogen.
The goal is to design a system that generates, stores, and reconverts hydrogen into electricity when solar power is unavailable, positioning clean hydrogen as an energy storage solution for solar energy or other renewable energy sources.
