Lead Organisation:
University of Wollongong
Funding:
Future Fuels CRC
Status:
Active
Start date:
February 2020
Project summary description:
This project investigates:
- Advanced power converter development to improve fuel cell system performance:
- Improving the efficiency of the renewable energy-based electrolyser through power electronics optimisation; and
- An advanced power flow controller for energy flow between the grid and electrolyser to produce hydrogen, and between fuel cell and grid to control the conversion of hydrogen to electricity.
