Abstract
The transition to renewable energy sources requires efficient energy storage and conversion systems. Among these, AEM (Anion Exchange Membrane) electrolyzers have emerged as a promising technology for green hydrogen production due to their potential to combine the advantages of both alkaline and PEM electrolyzers. However, their long-term performance and degradation behaviour under real operating conditions remain crucial aspects for industrial-scale deployment. This thesis project, developed in collaboration with Edison S.p.A., presents the modelling of a realistic AEM electrolyzer test bench. In particular, the aim of this Python-based simulation model is to simulate the dynamic behaviour of AEM electrolyzers, integrating both their electrical response and degradation over time.
The model simulates hydrogen production based on variable energy inputs from renewable sources, making it a valuable tool for assessing future operational scenarios integration with RES
