Solar Powered Interleaved Boost Converter for PEM Electrolyser Applications

The creation of hydrogen using electrolysis is a very promising approach to producing modern and sustainable energy. This study presents a mathematical model of the PEM electrolyser as an equivalent electrical circuit. In practice, this model has been used to examine a variety of electrolyser features. Solar PV module power this mathematical model of PEM electrolyser. Relations have been used to model the electrolyser so that its rating can be adjusted by varying the number of cells. Appropriate power conditioning systems are required to connect the modelled electrolyser and solar PV and guarantee the stability of the entire system. To confirm that an interleaved boost converter has been developed. It has been discovered that this inter-leaved boost converter model is efficient and clamps the voltage stress across the switch. Consequently, improving both its own and the system’s overall efficiency. In steady state conditions, the input current-voltage (I-V) could be recovered. The rate of hydrogen production has been observed to increase linearly with input current. There is non-linear relationship between input power and the rate of hydrogen production. The behaviour of electrical energy systems that use stored electrolytic hydrogen as energy has been found to be better understood using this model.
