Abstract

Energy resources based on green hydrogen are nowadays beginning to enjoy wide adoption and draw considerable interest. There are different types of hydrogen production, but it is green hydrogen that is becoming an attractive energy development capable of replacing blue and grey hydrogen as well as fossil fuels, Thereby the carbon footprint will be reduced for a number of industrial processes. Proton exchange membrane electrolyzers used for the production of environmentally friendly hydrogen have one key shortcoming, which is the short service life of the equipment. This paper presents a comparative study of the commonly applied PLL control of AC-DC converters. To improve the control of the proton exchange membrane of the electrolyzer, a vector control arrangement is adopted, which allows, by relying on cascade control loops, maintaining different DC link voltage levels and thereby extending the DC link input voltage variation range.
