Abstract

Green hydrogen is produced from renewable energies, being a promising integration in the field of microgrids. For a proper utilization, hydrogen generators, known as electrolyzers, must be studied and handled with a deep knowledge about their complex and non-linear behavior. In this sense, digital replicas (DR) are mainly based on mathematical models and constitute a merging paradigm envisioned to accurately represent the operation of physical systems within a simulated framework. This paper presents the development and initial implementation of a platform to simulate different models of proton exchange membrane electrolyzers aiming at evaluating their fitness and performance. The suite Matlab/Simulink has been applied including a Graphical User Interface to facilitate the interaction with the user. This tool is envisioned to contribute scientists to select and develop DR of such challenging equipment for tasks like performance analyses, prognostics and control purposes. The main features of the platform as well as preliminary results are reported.
