Abstract

Refueling of a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) usually takes place at public refueling stations. These aim to be comparable to today’s petrol stations and should be able to refuel many cars throughout the day. These stations require high CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) and high OPEX (Operational Expenditure) per refueling process since they are not yet close to high utilization. Home refueling based on green hydrogen could supplement and support the refueling infrastructure rollout by lowering operating and capital costs [1]. Another advantage is, that it could enable the usage of the seasonal energy surplus of photovoltaics energy from summer during the rest of the year by storing unused energy as produced hydrogen.

Therefore, a concept for a family home with average parameters for a family household in Germany was developed. A detailed energy analysis for this model household was carried out to prove whether a year-round refueling using only roof-top photovoltaic energy is possible. For the compression of hydrogen, an electrochemical hydrogen compressor (EHC) was used. This device works noiseless and requires only small space, it is therefore perfectly suitable for the usage in residential buildings.
