RT Journal Article T1 Batteries and Hydrogen Storage: Technical Analysis and Commercial Revision to Select the Best Option A1 Andújar Márquez, José Manuel A1 Segura Manzano, Francisca A1 Rey Luengo, Jesús A1 Vivas Fernández, Francisco José AB : This paper aims to analyse two energy storage methods—batteries and hydrogen storagetechnologies—that in some cases are treated as complementary technologies, but in other ones theyare considered opposed technologies. A detailed technical description of each technology will allowto understand the evolution of batteries and hydrogen storage technologies: batteries looking forhigher energy capacity and lower maintenance, while hydrogen storage technologies pursuing bettervolumetric and gravimetric densities. Additionally, as energy storage systems, a mathematical modelis required to know the state of charge of the system. For this purpose, a mathematical model isproposed for conventional batteries, for compressed hydrogen tanks, for liquid hydrogen storage andfor metal hydride tanks, which makes it possible to integrate energy storage systems into managementstrategies that aim to solve the energy balance in plants based on hybrid energy storage systems.From the technical point of view, most batteries are easier to operate and do not require specialoperating conditions, while hydrogen storage methods are currently functioning at the two extremes(high temperatures for metal and complex hydrides and low temperatures for liquid hydrogen orphysisorption). Additionally, the technical comparison made in this paper also includes researchtrends and future possibilities in an attempt to help plan future policies PB MDPI SN 1996-1073 (electrónico) YR 2022 FD 2022-08 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/21171 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/21171 LA eng NO Andújar, J.
