Description
A key element in the transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon energy system is ‘hydrogen produced through electrolysis process’. This process, which splits water into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2), happens in electrolyzers that utilize electricity from renewable energy sources. Since it is powered by renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, or hydropower, this method produces "green hydrogen" with zero greenhouse gas emissions. Green hydrogen can be used in various sectors, including transportation, industry, and power generation. Therefore, there is a strong push towards generating green hydrogen by using electrolyzers. This warrants the research and development in this area of electrolyzer systems.The high-power electrolyzer is a complex system which involve the knowledge of chemical process, material science, control strategy and power electronics. Therefore, this course provides an overview of a power-to-X (P2X) electrolyzer system. In the course, topics starting from cell structure to power supply topology and control will be discussed.
