"Power-to-Gas" Energy Storage Technology
Gálíček, Radomír ; Špiláček, Michal (referee) ; Poláčik, Ján (advisor)
Climate change is becoming a severe global issue which demands innovative technical solutions. If, in the context of reduction of gaseous carbon emissions, the share of renewable energy resources continued to rise, the need for energy storage would emerge. That could mean a shift towards hydrogen focused technologies. This bachelor’s thesis focuses on Power to gas processes and summarizes means of hydrogen production, storage and transportation. All the mentioned aspects are reviewed from technological and economical point of view. Conventional methods of hydrogen production from fossil fuels are the most common, but usage of electrolysis or biological methods may prove as competitive options in near future. Furthermore, the usage of fuel cells in the field of small-scale cogeneration units is recently going through a phase of dynamic development. The practical part of this thesis focuses on designing a seasonal Power to gas unit for a semi-detached house which is powered exclusively by renewable resources. From numerous variants the best one was chosen and compared to a conventional energy storage using lithium batteries. It is shown that even thou the electrochemical cells are more flexible variant they couldn’t match Power to gas technology in the term of seasonal energy storage.

Efficiency of hydrogen production by electrolysis
Pelán, Ondřej ; Špiláček, Michal (referee) ; Poláčik, Ján (advisor)
This thesis summarizes the basic information abouth hydrogen, its production, storage and energy utilization. The emphasis is put on alkaline electrolysis, the factors affecting its effeciency and the results of applying pulsating direct current. The end of the thesis attempts to experimentally prove the possibilities of regulating the performance of the alkaline electrolyzer.

Integrating renewable energy sources into the power system
Kadlec, Tomáš ; Štelcl, Otakar (referee) ; Moskalík, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis shows challenges with using renewable sources of energy and their integration into the power system. It provides an overview of renewable energy sources and how they affect the functions of power system. It also includes a description of power system and unstable energy production of renewable sources. Thesis shows possible solutions of this instability, especially by using energy storage and some developments in power systems.

Power to gas
Abdallah, Hadi ; Lázničková, Ilona (referee) ; Radil, Lukáš (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá problematikou technologie power-to-gas, která slouží k akumulaci energie tím, že přeměňuje přebytečnou elektrickou energii vyráběnou z obnovitelných zdrojů energie na syntetický zemní plyn. Cílem bylo představit aktuální trendy v oblasti power-to-gas a vytvořit model tohoto systému v OpenModelica. V práci jsou uvedeny všechny hlavní části systému power-to-gas: výroba elektrické energie, výroba vodíku elektrolýzou, zachycování a separace uhlíku, Sabatierova reakce a typy metanizace. Nejprve byl modelován denní průběh slunečního záření. Poté byl zpracován submodel přeměny záření na elektrickou energii pomocí FV panelů. Dále byl zpracován střídač DC/AC, distribuční cesta a měnič AC/DC pro napájení elektrolyzérů. Stěžejní částí práce bylo zpracování vlastní metanizační jednotky. Reakce je řešena pomocí van der Waalsovy rovnice reálných plynů. Podle toho je stanovena produkce metanu, který je poté skladován v nádržích. Dále se provádí simulace se dvěma cestami. Za prvé, energie získaná z fotovoltaické elektrárny je přímo vedena přes distribuční soustavu k elektrolyzérům. Za druhé, energie získaná z fotovoltaické elektrárny je přiváděna do 22 kV distribuční sítě, která pak napájí zbytek procesu. Závěrem práce je zhodnocení, které porovnává celkovou efektivitu systému vzhledem k power-to-gas vůči akumulátorovému úložišti energie.

Power to gas
Copek, Tomáš ; Poláčik, Ján (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with Power to Gas technology. In this concept electrical energy is used for hydrogen production via electrolysis. Hydrogen can be injected in limited amount into natural gas grid, used for power generation via fuel cells or as a reactant for methanation process. Characteristics of hydrogen and ways of hydrogen production, storage and transport are described. Fuel cells are described as a device which uses hydrogen for power production. Crucial part of this thesis consists of a description of Power to Gas concept and a design of Power to Gas unit with electrical power of 9,5 kW. Three different units were designed for three different times of day operation. Efficiency and economical assessment was carried out for these three Power to Gas units.

The role of energy storage in low carbon transition of the Czech energy system
Švíková, Kateřina ; Rečka, Lukáš (advisor) ; Kmeťková, Diana (referee)
This thesis provides an extensive literature review on promising energy stor- age technologies, batteries, and hydrogen while evaluating their current and future costs and performance metrics. Additionally, the data gathered from the reviewed literature are used for modeling purposes within the TIMES-CZ energy system model. Three scenarios, varying in cost projections, are formu- lated to evaluate the impact of storage technologies on the entire system. The findings demonstrate that storage technologies effectively shift excess electric- ity from low demand to peak demand resulting in increased overall electricity production in the Czech energy model. Keywords energy storage, battery, hydrogen, TIMES-CZ model Title The role of energy storage in low carbon transi- tion of the Czech energy system Author's e-mail 73632303@fsv.cuni.cz Supervisor's e-mail lukas.recka@czp.cuni.cz
