Photovoltaic Hydrogen Production, U.S.-Pakistan Cooperative Research

9322623 Veziroglu描述：该项目支持来自迈阿密大学清洁能源研究所(CERI)和巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡国家硅技术研究所(NIST)的两名美国科学家参与一个项目，进行光伏制氢的理论和实验研究。两个系统将被调查，一个有一个存储系统来平衡白天和季节的日照，另一个没有这样的存储系统。理论研究将确定两个系统在不同条件下的最优变量。在将在巴基斯坦进行的实验调查中，将设计、建造、运行和评估光伏制氢示范系统。结果将被用来完善理论。范围：该项目解决了许多发展中国家面临的主要问题之一。巴基斯坦就是这样一个没有石油储备的国家，但由于处于阳光地带，它可能能够利用太阳辐射来能源和工业应用。CERI与巴基斯坦的NIST的合作提供了互补能力的强大组合。NIST得到了巴基斯坦科技部的支持，该部已经为该项目的主要部分--实验部分分配了必要的资源。该项目可以为美国带来重大好处，为美国提供所需的大部分材料和技术，并可以使巴基斯坦和其他发展中国家受益，这些国家为各种应用和行业利用无穷无尽的能源。***

9322623 Veziroglu Description: This project supports the participation of two U.S. scientists, from the Clean Energy Research Institute (CERI), University of Miami, with The National Institute of Silicon Technology (NIST), in Islamabad, Pakistan, in a project to conduct theoretical and experimental studies for photovoltaic hydrogen production. Two systems will be investigated, one with a storage system to even out the diurnal and seasonal insolation, and the other without such storage. The theoretical study will determine the optimum variables of each of the two systems under various conditions. In the experimental investigations, to be carried out in Pakistan, a PV Hydrogen Production demonstration system will be designed, built, operated, and evaluated. The results will be used to refine the theory. Scope: This project addresses one of the major problems facing many developing countries. Pakistan is one such country with no oil reserves, but which may be able, by virtue of being in the sunbelt, to utilize solar radiation for energy and for industrial applications. The collaboration by the CERI with the NIST in Pakistan provides a strong combination of complementary capabilities. The NIST is backed by the Pakistan Ministry of Science and Technology which has already allocated the necessary resources for the major part of the project, the experimental part. The project can lead to major benefits to the U.S. in supplying much of the materials and technology needed, and can benefit Pakistan and other developing countries utilize an endless source of energy for various applications and industries. ***
