The aim of this study is to analyze the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) water electrolysis. On the basis of theoretical investigation the well know Bulter-Volmer equation and water transport characteristics through the solid electrolyte membrane were employed to simulate the electrode activation over potential and membrane ohmic over potential. Then, the simulation results were compared with the published experimental data.
