This article examines the process of compressing hydrogen in its gaseous state, a critical aspect for its broader adoption in both civil and industrial sectors. The authors provide an overview of various hydrogen storage methodologies, focusing on the thermophysical properties of hydrogen and the configurations for hydrogen compression. They emphasize the importance of balancing energy consumption with the required number of compression stages, noting that pressures of at least 350 bar are essential for competitive volume storage, though this incurs an energy cost of about 10% of the fuel's calorific value. Multi-stage compression is highlighted as a crucial strategy to manage temperature rises, with an upper limit of 200 °C. The study advocates for a three-stage compression system, which achieves high-pressure solutions while keeping compression work below 10 MJ/kg, a threshold indicative of sustainable energy utilization. The article is structured into several sections, including an introduction that discusses the significance of hydrogen storage and the challenges associated with it. It then delves into the thermophysical properties of hydrogen and the requirements for gaseous hydrogen storage. The next section reviews existing technological solutions for hydrogen compression, highlighting their advantages and limitations. The authors present a compression model to analyze energy requirements, including a sensitivity analysis to explore variations in parameters. The results of the compression analysis are discussed, comparing the actual compression work required for different combinations of initial and final pressures. Finally, the conclusions emphasize the importance of optimizing compression techniques while carefully evaluating the overall energy efficiency of hydrogen storage systems. The study underscores the need for a nuanced approach to balancing efficiency and feasibility in hydrogen compression, considering factors such as the number of compression stages, maximum compression temperature, and compression ratio. While achieving high pressure levels is reasonable, the energy expenditure during compression detracts from overall energy efficiency, with approximately 40% of renewable energy lost before utilization. The authors conclude that optimizing compression techniques is crucial for hydrogen storage, but the careful evaluation of storage utilization remains essential.This article examines the process of compressing hydrogen in its gaseous state, a critical aspect for its broader adoption in both civil and industrial sectors.
