Thesis title
Solar Photovoltaic Powered Water Electrolyser Power Management System
Research overview
As the world transitions towards a low-carbon future, renewables-powered water electrolysis systems are at the forefront, emerging as a prominent solution for efficient and sustainable hydrogen production. The stacked electrolysis cells resemble battery energy storage systems, harnessing electricity from renewable sources with grid integration, and offering a strategic alternative for energy storage applications—potentially replacing costly and fast-aging batteries. Despite their transformative potential, these stacks suffer from inefficiency mechanisms that result in suboptimal performance, hindering large-scale adoption. The goal of this research project is to model and mitigate these inefficiencies, leading to optimal performance, reduced operational costs, and extended lifetime of the electrolysis stacks.
