Item Restricted HAZID Analysis of Hydrogen Production Via Solid-State Electrolysis(The University of Sheffield, 2024-08) Altarif, Saleh; Cordiner, JoanCarbon-neutral energy sources are required for efficient energy production in the future, which has prompted research on new methods for generating Hydrogen or clean hydrogen production technology, such as solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs). Nevertheless, the high-temperature operation of SOECs and hydrogen handling aspects pose severe safety and environmental concerns. This study thus performs a thorough Hazard Identification (HAZID) on hydrogen production using SOECs with the objective of overcoming these challenges to allow for safe use and integration of the technology. This paper covers measures necessary to determine risks associated with SOEC systems, such as high heat, electrical appliances, chemicals, and pressure. The study concludes that the current approaches used in HAZID do not adequately incorporate some of the potential dangers with SOEC operation; therefore, improvements are needed in assessing SOE chamber material degradation at high temperatures as well as the integration of SOECs with other forms of renewable energy sources that are intermittent. To improve risk evaluation and management, the study suggests the implementation of innovative technologies, including CFD, ML, and real-time monitoring. The study highlights the dire call for enhanced safety measures, measurement, and control, as well as constant technology innovation to attain safe implementation of SOEC technology for the steady production of Hydrogen.28 0
