Abstract
Hydrogen is proposed as energy vector and as an alternative fuel. In this paper three renewable energy sources have been investigated and considered from which producing electricity to be used in the process of water electrolysis: primary wind source, primary solar source and geothermal energy. Three Calabrian sites have been studied, chosen by way of example and of which the meteorological and geophysical data were possessed: Capo Suvero for wind energy, Cosenza for solar energy and Civita for geothermal energy. The sizing of these renewable energy plants was based on an annual energy estimate. The performance of each system has been investigated, from an energy point of view. The overall efficiency of the system has been calculatedI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
