Abstract
This report outlines the progress of the Master’s Design Project (MDP) titled ‘Development of a Control Strategy for Optimizing PEM Electrolyzer Operation and Lifespan in Solar-Powered Hydrogen Production,’ conducted in collaboration with Repowered. The project involves integrating a 5 MW PEM Electrolyzer with a 115 MWp solar field to produce 100% green hydrogen and to reduce the solar field’s curtailment. This report includes a comprehensive literature review, stakeholder analysis, and the design of the control strategy. It covers the development of the MPC model including the Rainflow counting algorithm and Palmgren miner rule, which has been tested in simulations, and results that validate its potential for real-world application. The report concludes with a discussion of future steps for refining the model and validating it further through real-world implementation
