Reliable and High-Performance Power Rectifier for Hydrogen Electrolyzers
Market trends
In hydrogen production via electrolysis, AC grid power is converted into variable DC to drive the electrochemical reaction.
This is typically done using interleaved buck converters, which ensure efficient, high-current delivery for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Typical requirements
- 135kW, 3-phases buck converter for electrolysis system.
- High system efficency: 96 - 98%.
- High DC current handling without core saturation.
- Magnetic loss control at industrial switching frequencies.
- Stable performance across temperature and frequency variations.
- Compact design: ±1kW/L.
- Water cooling design.
- Mechanical integration into constrained cabinets.
PRAX approach:
Custom inductors for Electrolyzers
