Toward a hydrogen society: Hydrogen and smart grid integration

Abstract

Hydrogen has an important role as a smart solution for Smart Grid, as it can play as an energy vector, a storage medium, and a clean fuel cell. The integration of Hydrogen and Smart Grid can minimize the impact on the environment while maximizing sustainability, which indicates that we are developing toward a hydrogen society. There have been already many studies on different aspects of this topic. For a better understanding of the related work, this paper proposed a comprehensive overview of the related work on the integration of Hydrogen and Smart Grid. Related literature is organized and analyzed from four categories, including Hydrogen energy in smart grids, Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, Hydrogen economy in smart grids, and Models for energy system in smart grids. And each subject has been introduced more carefully. What's more, for a clear understanding for readers, we provide overall scenario views for the organization of the related work.
