Hydrogen electrolyzers are promising tools for frequency regulation of future power systems with high penetration renewable energies and low inertia. This is due to both the increasing demand hydrogen their flexibility as controllable load. The two main electrolyzer technologies Alkaline Electrolyzers (AELs) Proton Exchange Membrane (PEMELs). However, they have trade-offs: dynamic response speed AELs, cost PEMELs. paper proposes combination into a Hybrid Electrolyzer System (HHES) obtain...

The increase in hydrogen production to support the energy transition different sectors, such as steel industry, leads utilization of large scale electrolyzers. These electrolyzers have ability become a fundamental tool for grid stability providing services, especially frequency regulation, power grids with high share renewable sources. Alkaline (AELs) low cost and long lifetime, but their slow dynamics make them unsuitable fast case contingencies. Proton Exchange Membrane (PEMELs) dynamic...
