Utilization of renewable energy to produce electrical energy(Hydrogen Energy)

Abstract Today, electricity has an important place in all countries so that growth and progress of a country without any consideration of producing electricity to the optimum seems impossible. So far, fossil fuels were important energy sources, but uncontrolled use of these resources and their restriction has caused man looking for new forms of energy. Natural renewable energies in order of frequency are: Solar energy, wind energy, water energy, geothermal energy, nuclear energy, biogas energy, biomass energy or bio fuels, hydrogen and fuel cell energy. Ease of obtaining hydrogen from water and abundance of this element and its environment-friendly characteristics are features that will distinguish this element from other elements of alternative energy. Fuel cells are used to produce electricity and heat with electrochemical method, simultaneously. Undoubtedly in the future, Hydrogen and employing the power of this element are placed in first priority. In the current situation, optimal use of fossil fuels, reduction of serious consumption of this product and production of petrochemical products, are the solutions that can replace new energy with fossil fuels. This article explains characteristics of fuel cell, its application and the importance of using this technology in various industries.
