Abstract

Abstract: The generation of hydrogen using electrolysis process with integrated renewable energy sources is very important specially in environmental aspects. In this paper, we demonstrate that, the performance of electrolysis process which could be enhanced by decreasing the distance between electrodes while changing the properties of electrodes. At first, two single cell alkaline electrolysers are fabricated using an in-house 3D printer. Thereafter, the best performing cell is selected by considering its performance through different experiments. Finally, the performance of the selected cell is analysed by changing the distance between electrodes and changing the properties of electrodes. Throughout this research study the SolidWorks is used as the design software while using Mathlab Simulink as a modelling tool.
