Summary of Present Energy Scene: India • India meets about 30% of its energy need through imports and likely to increase in future. • To sustained growth of 8%, India would need to grow electrical supply by 5-7 times. • Coal shall remain primary energy source till 2031. • About 15% of villages are not electrified. • Concerns for the threat to climate change. • Peak shortage upto 25%, (India average-11%). • MOP target of adding 100,000 MW generation capacity by 2012. • Not much change in rural household energy consumption in last decade. Integrated Energy Policy- Planning Commission, Dec 2005
Pressing Problem • What is the role of renewable energy? • How to increase India’s known energy resources? • How to ensure energy security? • How to encourage clean energy system? • How to deal with persistent power shortages? • How to provide clean cooking energy for all? • How to provide access to electricity to all households? Integrated Energy Policy - Planning Commission, Dec 2005
A Small Step in Providing a Sustainable Solution: A National Effort at ERDA • Development of Wind Hydrogen Based Cooking System for Remote Coastal Communities in India • Essential ingredients of the System are as Below: • Wind Energy Based Electricity Generation. • Electricity is Used to Run a Water Electrolyser to Generate Hydrogen. • Hydrogen is Stored and Supplied via Pipeline to Coastal Community Kitchens.
Wind Hydrogen Based Cooking System Wind turbine storage Electrolyser Hydrogen Hydrogen pipeline
Wind Hydrogen Based Cooking System • Clean fuel for cooking. • Stand alone - No other source required. • Negligible maintenance and recurring cost (economical). • Indigenous technology - needs validation, field trail.
Why Hydrogen Can be Fuel India-I Universal fuel, can provide energy security. Available in unlimited quantity. Can be produced from sunlight, wind, bio mass etc. Wide applications –transport, power generation, cooking, etc. Stored energy that can be used later on demand. Non toxic, clean /non polluting. Will reduce global warming. Energy source for 21st century
Why Hydrogen Can be Fuel India-II • Highest energy content per unit mass (120 MJ/kg). • Combustion energy cycles based on H2 higher efficiency than gasoline cycles (25 %). • Dynamics of combustion for H2 superior compared to gasoline and natural gas. • Higher flame speed in air(2.65 m/sec). • Higher diffusivity in air (D=0.61 cm2/sec). • Lower ignition energy (0.02 mWs). • H2 based fuel cells have efficiencies >60%.
Areas of Concern • Generation (Economics) • Storage (Safety) • Application
Production of Hydrogen From H2O 1). Cost of Producing H2 Using Electrolysis in the Thermodynamic Limit H2O(l) = H2(g) + ½ O2(g) at P = 0.1 MPa, T = 298 K E = V F Z : H2 = 2H+ + 2e- = 1.229 x 96500 x 2 = 237.2 kJ/mole = 0.065 kWh/mole = 0.065 x (1000/2) = 32 kWh/kg of H2 II). Cost of Producing H2 Using Electrolysis in a Real Cell = 1.5 x E =48 kWh/kg of H2 At Rs5/unit, the electrolysis cost then becomes Rc = 48 x 5 = Rs. 240 / kg of H2
H2 Economics For IC Engines: Why Green Hydrogen is Required Current Petrol Cost in India = Rs. 55/ltr = Rs. 55,000/m3 Density of Petrol = 865 kg/m3 Hence Unit Rate of Petrol = Rs 64.00 /kg. Now H2 Has Three Times the Calorific Value of Petrol (11,8000 kJ/kg Against About 40,000 kJ/kg for Petrol) Hence Cost Equivalent for H2=Rs. 80/one kg. Equivalent of Petrol Bottom Line : If One Uses Just the Electricity Consumption Cost in Production of H2, Grid Electricity Costs Are Still Not Comparable With the Prevailing Cost Of Petrol. Hence Renewable Production of Hydrogen is Required.
