Abstract
Described is an SOEC-SOFC-HBR hybrid system for green ammonia production, and more particularly an SOEC-SOFC-HBR hybrid system configured such that a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is operated using electricity produced from renewable energy such as wind power or sunlight, intermittency of the renewable energy is complemented by a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), hydrogen produced by the solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) and nitrogen provided by the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) are input to a Haber-Bosch reactor, and heat from the SOFC and the Haber-Bosch reactor is collected to efficiently and continuously produce green ammonia.
Claims5
An SOEC-SOFC-HBR hybrid system for green ammonia production, the SOEC-SOFC-HBR hybrid system comprising:
- a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC);
- a power compensator configured to adjust uniform supply power using a renewable energy source and the solid oxide fuel cell;
- a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) configured to produce hydrogen using the supply power adjusted by the power compensator;
- and
- a Haber-Bosch reactor configured to produce ammonia using the hydrogen produced by the solid oxide electrolysis cell and nitrogen provided by the solid oxide fuel cell.
