INTRODUCTION
• Green hydrogen is defined as hydrogen produced by splitting water
into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity.
• Depending on production methods, hydrogen can be grey, blue or
green and sometimes even pink, yellow or turquoise.
• Grey hydrogen produced from coal with significantly higher CO2
emissions per unit of hydrogen produced called brown or black
hydrogen instead of grey[1].
Why Green Hydrogen?
• Hydrogen is emerging as one of the leading options for storing energy
from renewables other than batteries, flywheel, compressed air,
pumped hydro, ultracapacitors, etc.
• Green hydrogen is the only type produced in a climate-neutral
manner making it critical to reach net zero by 2050.
• India has set a target to produce 5 million tonnes (mt) of green
hydrogen by 2030. Over the next decade, the government plans to
add 175 GW of green hydrogen-based energy.
Challenges
• Major technical challenges that hydrogen production via water
electrolysis:-Hydrogen cost, EL efficiency, and electricity price
• Current green hydrogen production costs range anywhere between
₹320 and *330 per kilogram in India[2].
• Electrolysis for green hydrogen production needs to significantly
scale-up andreduce its cost by at least three times over the next
decade or two.
• Green hydrogen costs in India could potentially fall by half to as low as
160-170 per kg by 2030.
ELECTROLYZER
• An electrolyzer is defined as an apparatus that separates the water
(2H2O) into hydrogen (2H2) and oxygen (O2)
• Water electrolysis may be classified as a reverse process of hydrogen
that is fed into a Fuel cell.
• There are two types of electrolysis, Alkaline and Proton exchange
membrane (PEM),
• The PEM cells are known to be reversible devices for hydrogen
systems when compared to alkaline based electrolysis. They also
have many advantages like smaller dimension and mass, lower power
consumption, lower operating temperatures [3].
CONCLUSION
• Developed MATLAB simulation model of PEM Electrolyser With the
Help of Electrical Equivalent Circuit of PEM Electrolyser
• Integration of PV-Module,Buck converter With Electrical equivalent
Circuit of 2V and 1A load PEM Electrolyser is designed
• Dofferent observation has been obtained by varying Temperature,
Pressure, and current
Future Work
• Paper Writing
• Design of DC-DC Converter and Control For Electrolyser Application
considering
-High energy efficiency
-Low electromagnetic disturbances.
-Reduced cost.
-High Voltage ratio.
-Low output current ripple(to extent electrolyser lifespan)
-Ability to operate in case of electrical failure
