HYDROGEN PRODUCTION FROM WATER ELECTROLYSIS CURRENT PRACTICE VS SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES

Research and development on sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels have become a prime focus for the last couple of decades. Hydrogen, one Earth's most abundant elements, holds great potential as energy carrier. However, Hydrogen is lighter than air, it does not exist in pure form atmosphere often found compounds, such water. The abundance seawater this regard makes an almost inexhaustible source energy. Nevertheless, ways extracting from water, dealing with its high corrosiveness significantly lower evaporation point, still pose research challenges. Therefore, paper aims at providing comprehensive analysis generation by focussing application electrolysis recover water rather using common reforming techniques. Different parameters affecting efficiency overall performance electrolyser process also been discussed possible solutions tackle problems are presented. Later, case study has conducted demonstrate alternative hydrogen production alkaline solar MATLAB Simulink platform used regard. This concludes that irradiation level 1000W/m2, PV array 57 parallel strings four modules connected series per string sufficient provide enough power produce Hydrogen.
