| Sumario: | The thesis explores the comparative performance of Alkaline and PEM electrolysers with an emphasis on temperature effects, utilizing Simulink for detailed modeling and simulation. Electrolysers are pivotal in the hydrogen production process, and temperature can significantly impact their efficiency and operational stability. The research aims to provide a clear understanding of how temperature variations influence the performance of these electrolyser technologies By simulating different temperature scenarios in Simulink, the study evaluates key performance metrics such as energy efficiency and overall system behavior. The results highlight the strengths and weaknesses of Alkaline and PEM electrolysers in various thermal conditions, offering critical insights for their application in large-scale industries. This comparative analysis aids in the decision-making process for selecting the appropriate electrolyser technology based on temperature-related performance factors. |
