Abstract

The development of renewable energy infrastructure and technologies is accelerating. One of the main concerns in renewable electricity production is the emergence of generation intermittency and fluctuation along with existing load variability. Power-to-X could play a critical role in providing many technological methods to handle power supplies with the consistency and reliability of future energy systems. A comprehensive investigation of the various power-to-X technologies is provided in this chapter, which could be utilized to integrate the benefits of renewable energies whereas avoiding the limitations when used alone. As well, the latest advances in PtX technologies are investigated and discussed in detail since limitations must be overcome to implement infrastructures around the world.
