Modeling Capabilities Molecular Modeling (TIAX)

In a previous study of hydrogen storage, we modeled a hydrogen molecule between two graphitic planes to assess hydrogen affinity to this structure.

• We found that, although there is some electron charge transfer from the graphite to the H2 molecule, there is no localization potential pinning the hydrogen molecule

• We saw that any charge transfer in or out of the graphitic planes results in a decrease of the in-plane lattice vector’s magnitude

operating conditions because the model includes fundamental descriptions of important phenomena

–Elementary reactions based on current, fundamental understanding

–Kinetic parameters, not fitted to data, but obtained from fundamental measurements and calculations in the literature

Primary Uses• Estimate cell performance under real and

hypothetical scenarios• Check validity of performance assertions• Identify and test operating strategies that

optimize performance• E.g., automotive PEMFC

Modeling Capabilities Manufacturing Cost Model (TIAX)

Our manufacturing cost model is critical in determining the bottoms-up cost of many hydrogen and fuel cell components.

The OATT wanted to develop an independent cost analysis of a fuel flexible PEMFC system for transportation with which to gauge progress toward PNGV cost targets and to project future cost.

• Develop a system configuration for automotive applications

• Worked with ANL to construct system design• Develop an activities based cost model for high

volume production (500,000 vehicles per year)• Present results and assumptions to industry• Revise model based on feedback from industry• Use kinetic modeling to provide basis for long term

projection

Fuel Choice for FCV Analysis (TIAX)

• Phase I-II: Well-to-Wheel and Ownership Cost– Completed: February 2002– Evaluated well-to-wheel energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and ownership

costs for various PEM FCV fuel options using detailed fuel chain and vehicle performance models and cost analyses. Also evaluated the technology development, commercialization, environmental, safety and other issues surrounding various fuel options and strategies for FCVs. Based on the results, helped DOE develop R&D targets for off-board hydrogen production and provided insight to potential FCV ownership costs for the various options.

• Phase III: Hydrogen Infrastructure Cost– Ongoing (different contract than Phases I-II)– Conducting a net present value analysis on developing a hydrogen

infrastructures focusing on the transition from the current situation to various steady-state market penetration cases. Based on the results, will compare financial and other risks to society and individual stakeholders for various transition strategies and propose pathways that minimize risks.

Hydrogen Technical Analysis(TIAX)

• Phase I: Small-scale Purification Technologies– Completed: July 2002– Evaluated three alternative purification technologies with promising

characteristics for small-scale production at hydrogen fueling stations using detailed process models and cost analyses of various system configurations, including: high and low pressure autothermal and steam reforming, and high and low pressure hydrogen storage. Based on the results, determined the most promising purification technologies compared to conventional pressure swing adsorption in terms of overall system efficiency and cost to produce hydrogen.

• Phase II: Hydrogen Mini-grid– Ongoing– Evaluating the feasibility of hydrogen production for both vehicle fueling and

distributed fuel cell power using short distance hydrogen transmission (a.k.a. hydrogen mini-grid) via compressed hydrogen and metal hydride slurry. Detailed cost analysis and process modeling are being used to determine the overall cost, energy use, and emissions benefits of the mini-grid strategies compared to stand-alone and conventional systems.
