Abstract

Abstract Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzed water hydrogen production technology has the advantages of high working current density, high electrolysis efficiency, non-polluting reaction, light weight, compact structure, etc. The small-scale electrolyzed water hydrogen production equipment of this technology is used for hydrogen cooling in power plants. The unit field has a wide range of application prospects. This article first introduces the working principle and technical advantages of PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production technology. By comparing with the quantitative results of alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production technical solutions, it analyzes the technical solutions of PEM electrolysis technology in the hydrogen-cooled generator set of power plants. The equipment composition and economic feasibility further look forward to the development prospects of PEM electrolyzed water technology in power plants and other civilian fields.
