Abstract

Low temperature electrolysis brings the possibility of achieving the production of fuels and chemical feedstocks without any carbon footprint. Power electronic converters are vital components of future electrolyser systems in terms of overall cost and efficiency. This paper presents the current state of art in power electronics for low temperature electrolysis and all the major steps of designing an electrolysis system are discussed from the modeling of electrolysers to the system architecture. The most promising routes are pointed out and backed up with results from both experimental and theoretical studies found in the literature.
