Prototypowy układ generowania wodoru oparty na elektrolizerze typu HTPEM

With the entry to the markets the first commercial vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells questions arise concerning the hydrogen generation to supply them. Very promising technology for pure hydrogen producing are high-temperature HTPEM electrolysers. In the project funded by The National Centre for Research and Development has developed a prototype system for pure hydrogen generating based on the HTPEM electrolyzer. In the article were described the main components of the system. Also were presented the characteristics of the electrolyser stack based on polybenzimidazol high-temperature membranes. Then listed control objectives of the high-temperature electrolyser which were the exit to the design of the effective control system. There has also been presented the way of modern control systems design. Subsequently were described current-voltage characteristics of the prototype hydrogen generation system and given the potential its applications.
