Hybrid Hydrogen Systems Stationary and Transportation Applications
Renewable energy technologies have been used on a small scale for many years now. Issues of intermittency and cost have prevented their widespread use and acceptance. At present, discussion and research is aimed at moving the current global fossil fuels e

Preface
This book was inspired by my need for a textbook to teach the Renewable Energy Technology class that I developed at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and I am now teaching at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Most textbooks that cover the subjects of renewable energy and hydrogen systems focus on the supply side with little or no mention of the considerations one must make to balance of the system in the areas of energy storage, system control, and optimization. This book is an attempt to cover that gap by providing a textbook to present basic knowledge of the various components of hybrid renewable hydrogen systems as well as a methodology and overview for systems design, control, and optimization. This book is intended for an audience of senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students as well as other graduate students from colleges of Architecture, Business, Law or Policy. This book is also intended to discuss the various aspects of the much celebrated ‘‘Hydrogen Economy’’ and to cover the basics of renewable energy sources and their technical and economical limitations or barriers. In addition, this book provides an overview of energy storage and conversion tec
