The University of Huelva (UHU) has held the award ceremony II Call for Awards for Final Degree Projects (TFG) and Final Master’s Projects (TFM) of the Gabitel Chair about Hydrogenwith which the Chair’s commitment to promoting training, research and knowledge transfer in the field of green hydrogen production is maintained, a fundamental aspect for the fight against climate change and the conservation of the planet in the coming decades .
The event, which took place in the Graduate Hall of the UHU Higher Technical School of Engineering (ETSI), has recognized works that have delved into aspects such as knowledge, production and applications of green hydrogen; an area in which Huelva is standing out at a national level through its research and in which the Gabitel Chair is a pioneer in Spain.
These awards are born with the intention of delving into the research of the main lines related to the chair, all focused on hydrogen: its production, storage and use as fuel; construction projects for green hydrogen production plants; the design of applications based on hydrogen; the feasibility of hydrogen-based facilities and applications for the use of green hydrogen in the transport sector; its energy efficiency; or business opportunities in the green hydrogen sector, among other aspects.
The person in charge of opening the event was Francisco Barba, Director of Employment, Entrepreneurship and External Chairs at the UHU, who emphasized “the enormous power of talent that the University of Huelva is showing” in such important fields of research as of green hydrogen, “which will mark the future industrial development of the province”.
Awards
The jury, made up of members of the chair council, has delivered the first prize to the Final Degree Project entitled ‘Mechanical design and manufacture of a hydrogen cell for implementation in ALO’, developed by the student of the double Degree in Industrial Electronic Engineering and Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Cirilo Delgado Asencio, and supervised by Professor Juan Mora Macias. In this work, the design and proposal for the manufacture and implementation of a hydrogen fuel cell in a fixed-wing RPAS system is carried out, guaranteeing the increase in autonomy and the reduction of polluting emissions, with respect to the RPAS versions with conventional combustion engine. or RPAS powered by batteries.
The second prize for the Final Degree Project, has been for the work “Design of a supply network based on renewable energy sources with Hydrogen as a backup element, for the demand supply of a commercial logistics center”, developed by the student Double Degree in Energy Engineering and Degree in Electrical Engineering, José Alfonso García Jiménez. This paper presents a solution for the electrical supply of a logistics center, based on renewable energy sources and hydrogen as a backup element.
The TFM category has been deserted.
