Green Hydrogen Energy Systems explores the vital technologies and methods for generating, storing, and utilizing green hydrogen. By adopting an energy systems approach, the book offers a comprehensive review of green hydrogen systems, integrating principles, configurations, progress, and applications, bolstered by technoeconomic analyses and performance data. Addressing common challenges, it explains processes for developing and constructing basic and advanced green hydrogen systems. The book details the fundamentals of hydrogen technologies, including thermodynamics, kinetics, energy loss mechanisms, and costs.
It covers aspects such as heat release, clean water usage in electrolyzers, system configurations, and includes real-world performance data, case studies, hydrogen hubs, safety, and economics.
Alexandros Arsalis is a Research Fellow at the Research Centre for Sustainable Energy (FOSS). His Ph.D. study was supported with a fully-funded Ph.D. Fellowship from Aalborg University and the Danish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Academy, and was completed in collaboration with the industry (Danfoss & Dantherm Power). After his studies, he worked as a Postdoctoral RA at Aalborg University. He has authored more than 40 peer-reviewed papers in scientific Journals and Conference Proceedings and participated in several funded research projects.
Fanourios Kourougianni earned his MEng degree in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in Energy Engineering, from the National Technical University of Athens in 2022. Since February 2023, Dr. Kourougianni has been contributing his expertise as a researcher at the FOSS Research Centre for Sustainable Energy, within the University of Cyprus. Focused on green hydrogen-related topics, his work aims to advance the understanding and implementation of this promising energy carrier for a greener future.
Dr Andreas V. Olympios is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the ONISILOS MSCA programme for experienced researchers, based at the University of Cyprus. He is working closely with the Clean Energy Processes (CEP) Laboratory of the Department of Chemical Engineering of Imperial College London, where he completed his PhD in 2022. His PhD work was part of the Science and Solutions for a Changing Planet Doctoral Training Partnership at the Grantham Institute of Climate Change and the Environment.
His research interests include the design and operational optimisation of low-carbon heating technologies, the identification of energy-system implications of heat and electricity decarbonisation; and modelling of large-scale thermo-mechanical (e.g., pumped-thermal) electricity storage technologies.
Before joining Imperial College London, Andreas obtained an MEng degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nottingham, where he was recognised as the best student of the course. He is an affiliate member of IMechE, from which he received the Institution Best Student and Frederic Barnes Waldron Awards in 2018.
