What is a hydrogen energy storage system in a microgrid?

The hydrogen energy storage system within the microgrid consists of an electrolyzer, a hydrogen storage tank, a fuel cell stack, and two DC/DC converters. The buck converter allows the EL to consume the electric power to produce hydrogen, which is stored in the HST.

Is electrochemical energy storage better than hydrogen energy storage?

From the above results, it can be seen that the capacity configured for electrochemical energy storage in multi microgrid systems is much greater than that configured for hydrogen energy storage.
