Abstract
Description
Pollution and emission from the burning fossil fuel already became a serious environmental issue. To solve this problem, more and more green energy or renewable energy has been used into and impact onto modern society. For instance, solar energy, hydrogen, and wind turbine gradually play an important role in manufactory industry. Using hydrogen fueling system for the residential is good for environments, because the students whose live in dormitory have their own cars. If those cars are hydrogen car, they can use the fueling system to supply the hydrogen to the cars. They do not have to go the hydrogen gas station to gas the hydrogen. And using hydrogen is more eco friendly than using the burning fossil. This design is to produce hydrogen for the hydrogen cars belonged to the residents of Bodine Hall, a dormitory at the UB, through a solar energy powered system. In this design, a Proton-Exchange-Membrane (PEM) eletrolyzer is used as a hydrogen generator, solar panels are used to convert solar energy to electricity for electrolyzer, and a hydrogen compressor system is used to compress hydrogen and store it.
