LEMTA is organising this year’s International Summer School Hydrogen Nancy labeled FCLAB . The theme will be “Hydrogen Energy Perspectives from Production to Applications” in the context of current national and international strategies for large-scale deployment of low-carbon hydrogen technology.
We will have the pleasure of welcoming you to Nancy from 3 to 7 July 2023 for this school, which will be held face-to-face, but also in a distance learning format.
This event is open to Masters and PhD students, researchers from academia and industry working in the different fields of hydrogen expertise. It aims to provide an in-depth knowledge of hydrogen energy with regard to production, conversion and storage, as well as the integration of hydrogen as a third energy carrier in existing or future microgrids. The summer school will start with conferences dedicated to the objectives of the France 2030 plan for the deployment of a French hydrogen industry, as well as the presentation of the PEPR-H2 (Priority Research Programme and Equipment) project on research in this field, which is part of the national low carbon hydrogen strategy. In addition, special attention will be given to the current economic challenges and to the life cycle analysis of hydrogen in order to quantify the environmental impacts. This multidisciplinary school will then address various technological and scientific aspects and applications covering low-carbon hydrogen production, storage, conversion to electricity in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs and AEMFCs), energy storage and finally the integration of these devices into microgrids through power electronics converters. Experts from academia and industry will share their knowledge in lectures and workshops during the five days:
- Political and economic challenges of hydrogen
- Life cycle analysis of hydrogen energy systems
- Hydrogen production and storage
- Operating principle, performance and degradation mechanisms of: PEM and AEM fuel cells and electrolyzers
- Technical integration into electrical microgrids
- Power electronics for hydrogen technologies
- Modelling, sizing and management of microgrids
We look forward to meeting you in Nancy or online !
