Abstract
An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a hydrogen supply system including a water electrolysis stack configured to produce hydrogen by electrochemically decomposing water, and a metal hydride compressor connected to the water electrolysis stack and configured to treat the hydrogen before supplying the hydrogen to a supply destination, thereby obtaining an advantageous effect of simplifying a structure and improving spatial utilization and a degree of design freedom.
Claims3
A hydrogen supply system comprising:
- a water electrolysis stack configured to produce hydrogen by electrochemically decomposing water;
- a first metal hydride compressor connected to the water electrolysis stack and configured to treat the hydrogen before supplying the hydrogen to a supply destination;
- a second metal hydride compressor connected to the water electrolysis stack in parallel with the first metal hydride compressor and configured to treat the hydrogen before supplying the hydrogen to the supply destination;
- a first supply line connected to the first metal hydride compressor and configured to supply the hydrogen to the supply destination;
- a first bypass line having one end connected to the first supply line and the other end connected to the second metal hydride compressor and configured to selectively allow the hydrogen to flow from the first supply line to the second metal hydride compressor;
- a second supply line connected to the second metal hydride compressor and configured to supply the hydrogen to the supply destination;
- and
- a second bypass line having one end connected to the second supply line and the other end connected to the first metal hydride compressor and configured to selectively allow the hydrogen to flow from the second supply line to the first metal hydride compressor.
