PARALLEL CONFIGURATION OF ELECTROLYSIS CELLS

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for operating an electrolyzer. The electrolyzer comprising a plurality of electrolytic cells, each of the electrolytic cells comprising an electrolyte and two electrodes, the systems and methods comprising: a common voltage converter coupled in parallel to the plurality of electrolytic cells and configured to distribute power to the plurality of electrolytic cells; and control circuitry coupled to the plurality of electrolytic cells, the control circuitry configured to: monitor one or more parameters of the plurality of electrolytic cells; and generate, based on the one or more parameters, a model representing operating conditions of the electrolytic cells on an individual electrolytic cell basis.
