Hydrogen production technology by electrolysis of water and its application in renewable energy consumption

Abstract

In order to deal with the energy crisis and environmental pollution, renewable energy power generation in the world has been rapid development. At present, the most widely used is solar energy and wind energy, but also caused a serious problem of abandoning light and wind. Hydrogen energy has become an ideal carrier of electric energy storage due to its high efficiency, clean and renewable characteristics. Electrolytic water hydrogen production technology with renewable energy as power source is one of the most promising energy conversion methods. This paper briefly analyzes the current situation of power generation and consumption of renewable energy in China in recent years, and then expounds the characteristics, principles, development status and improvement methods of alkaline, proton exchange membrane and high temperature solid oxide electrolytic water hydrogen production technology, and demonstrates its application prospect in the field of renewable energy power generation and energy storage with examples.
