Title:

3+2 Canada-Germany BMBF - Hyer - Modeling of electrolysis plant to inform improved electrolyser efficiencies

Agreement Number:

996750

Agreement Value:

$600,000.00

Agreement Date:

Oct 1, 2022 - Sep 30, 2025

Description:

Though green hydrogen production has the potential to reduce 37% of energy-related emissions if scaled, the process faces adoption challenges due to compromised electrolyser reliability, performance and costs. Owing to the complexity of the electrolyser system, off-design operating conditions lead to performance degradation mechanisms that could not historically be monitored or managed at the industrial stack scale. The objective of this project is to develop a dynamic model of a renewable electrolysis plant to inform optimal operating and design conditions for improved electrolyser efficiencies, mapping the relationship between operating conditions and electrolyser degradation to inform optimization choices for improved reliability.
