A hydrogen-electric coupling control method for off-grid green power-based hydrogen production includes: performing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control on each photovoltaic module to maximize an output power; distributing the output power to a power-type electrolyzer, and stabilizing a current on a low-voltage side at a specified value by adjusting a duty cycle of a boost direct current (DC)/DC converter, such that the power-type electrolyzer always operates at a rated power point; and distributing the output power to a regulation-type electrolyzer, and stabilizing a voltage on a high-voltage side at a target value by adjusting an output voltage of the boost DC/DC converter, such that the regulation-type electrolyzer absorbs a fluctuating part of a photovoltaic power. The hydrogen-electric coupling control method can effectively improve efficiency of a green power-based hydrogen production system, and realize stable and sustainable hydrogen production without relying on energy storage.

0000 An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to improving diagnostic measurements during operation of electrolyzers. In one embodiment, a hydrogen production system contains an electrolyzer; a direct current (DC) voltage source to apply a DC voltage across the electrolyzer to cause production of hydrogen by the electrolyzer; a test source to apply an alternating current (AC) signal across the electrolyzer to perform measurement of a diagnostic parameter of the electrolyzer; and a filter located in a path between the DC source and the electrolyzer, the filter designed to block the AC signal from when the AC signal is applied across the electrolyzer. As such the test source is operable to perform the measurement during the production of the hydrogen while the filter prevents the diversion of the AC signal to the DC source.

0001 A system and method are disclosed for the production of green hydrogen and oxygen from water using thermal decomposition driven by pulsed or continuous-spin detonation waves. In some embodiments, fresh water is converted into low-temperature steam and superheated beyond 3500°C using multi-stage shock-resonant compression within cooled gas-dynamic resonators, leading to dissociation of water into hydrogen and oxygen. In other embodiments, salt water is first desalinated by detonation-induced evaporation and fragmentation, producing steam and sea salt, after which the steam is thermally decomposed. A centrifugal vortex reactor is used to separate the resulting hydrogen and oxygen gases based on molecular weight. The system is capable of operating in a self-sustaining mode by recycling part of the generated gases for continued detonation. It is suitable for terrestrial and space-based applications, providing scalable, carbon-neutral hydrogen and oxygen production from fresh or salt water without the need for external electricity or fossil fuels.
