Abstract The rise in hydrogen production powered by renewable energy is driving the field toward the adoption of systems comprising multiple alkaline water electrolyzers. These setups present various operational modes: independent operation and multi-electrolyzer parallelization, each with distinct advantages and challenges. This study introduces an innovative configuration that incorporates a mutual lye mixer among electrolyzers, establishing a weakly coupled system that combines the advantages of two modes. This approach enables efficient heat utilization for faster hot-startup and maintains heat conservation post-lye interconnection, while preserving the option for independent operation after decoupling. A specialized thermal exchange model… More >
