.TransiEnt.Producer.Gas.Electrolyzer.Base.Physics.Voltage.V_cell1 .TransiEnt.Producer.Gas.Electrolyzer.Base.Physics.Voltage.V_cell1This is a model for electrolyzer dynamics with varying voltage dependent on pressure, current density, and temperature.
Voltage is modeled according to Espinosa-López et al 2018 based on pressure, temperature, and current. Contains overvoltage components from Nernst potential, activation, and ohmic overpotentials.
Original model developed and validated in the range of 20-60 °C with operating pressure of 15-35 bar.
(no remarks)
(no elements)
Consist of voltage equations from Espinosa-López et al 2018 by default. Can modify membrane conductivity, reverse voltage, concentration overvoltage, and thermoneutral expresssions if desired.
(no remarks)
Results have been validated against Espinosa-López et al 2018 published figures.
