Abstract

Producing hydrogen using renewable energy is a pivotal move towards cleaner and eco-friendlier energy generation, playing a vital role in safeguarding the environment. This method merges power electronic tools with electrolysers, which are key in enhancing hydrogen creation efficiency. Given that electrolysis operate on direct current (DC) voltage, there's a need for DC-DC or AC-DC converters to guarantee the right voltage and current for optimal electrolysis. This study aims to present a power regulation system tailored for hydrogen production powered by renewable resources. This system consists of two main stages: the matrix converter and the 12-pulse diode rectifier. The matrix converter ensures a controlled intake of current from the alternating current (AC) side, leading to a sinusoidal output with limited harmonic disruption. Additionally, it produces an AC voltage with a controlled magnitude and frequency, designed to suit the 12-pulse diode rectifier that follows. This meticulous voltage control is fundamental, granting enhanced operational adaptability and producing a high-quality waveform to support the electrolysis. Finally, the 12-pulse diode rectifier's task is to transform the AC from the matrix converter into a consistent DC voltage, crucial for effective hydrogen production.
