RP1.10-02 Improving the efficiency of the renewable energy-based electrolyser
| Executive Summary | This project advances power converter development to improve fuel cell system performance in a power system. Investigate the areas of wind- and PV- based electrolysis integration, integration of power electronics, improvements in renewable energy conversion efficiency and energy transfer, and reduction of balance-of-plant capital costs to facilitate the integration of electrolysers in the development of new renewables into the electricity grids. |
