The direct transition between traditional internal combustion engines and full electric based technologies are affected by scarce recharging infrastructures, making the fast-developing hybrid technologies a promising solution. Hybrid Technologies for Power Generation addresses the topics related to hybrid technologies by coupling conventional thermal engines with novel technologies including fuel cells, batteries, thermal storage, electrolysis, reporting the most recent advances concerning the transports and stationary applications. Potential operating schemes of hybrid power generation systems are covered, highlighting possible combinations of technology and guideline selection according to the energy demands of end-users. Going beyond state-of-the-art technological developments for processes, devices and systems, this book discusses the environmental impact and existing hurdles of moving from a single device to new approaches for efficient energy generation, transfer, conversion, high-density storage and consumption. By describing the practical viability of novel devices coupled to conventional thermal devices, this book has a decisive impact in energy system research, supporting those in the energy research and engineering communities. Covers detailed thermodynamic requirements for multiple smart technologies included in hybrid systems (i.e. FC, electrolysers, supercapacitors, batteries, thermal storage, etc)Features fundamental analysis and modelling to optimize the combination of smart technologies with traditional enginesDetailed protocols for analysis, operation and requirements of large-scale production are addressed
