Abstract

A modular power-hardware-in-loop (PHIL) simulator for water electrolyzers is developed to study the electrolyzer as part of a smart grid and to examine the characteristics of various electrolyzer power supply electronics. A PHIL simulator up to 405 A of continuous current is built using commercially available power electronic converters. The design and operating principle of the emulator are analyzed. The experimental dynamics tests are performed to verify the PHIL simulator operation and suitability for water electrolysis emulation considering the effect of supply power quality. Finally, the PEM stack model is implemented, and the PHIL simulator is used to emulate a commercial PEM electrolyzer following the measured solar photovoltaic (PV) output power.
