Designing a simple electrolyser for scaling green hydrogen value chains based on reverse engineering.

Project description

Electrolysers use electricity and water to produce hydrogen and are a key component for scaling a future hydrogen industry. This project aims to design a novel electrolyser characterised by a highly simplistic and modular architecture. For this purpose, an initial step should focus on analysing and reverse engineering current designs of electrolysers. Based on the results of the initial step, a novel, simple design for an electrolyser should be ideated and translated into an adequate model such as a SysML, or CAD model. Additionally, a first functional prototype of the model can be created.

Supervisors research focus

• Industry 4.0 and advanced manufacturing systems
• Design of value networks
• Factory management

Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
