Power Quality and Performance Analysis of Power Electronic Components of Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production System (PEM Technology)

Hydrogen production technologies have strong potential to play a significant role in the new energy system that must be defined in the coming years. Water electrolyzing offers opportunities for Hydrogen production for the whole chemical industry to reduce its CO2 footprint and become more competitive. It is a promising technology for energy storage coupled with renewable energy sources. This project aims to develop an expertise in power electronics technologies for water electrolyzer plants and conduct onsite performance tests to understand the influence of the electronic component on the lifetime of electrolyzer. This will contribute to a better understanding of power electronic components effects on the electrolyzers and utility grid.
