Different Types of Hydrogen Electrolysers: PEM, Alkaline, and Solid Oxide Explained

Image
  The high need for green hydrogen as a clean energy source has aroused keen interest in the technologies that make such production possible. Hydrogen electrolysers are prominent in this process, which effectively splits water into hydrogen and oxygen with the help of electricity. The efficiency and efficacy of green hydrogen production usually rely on the kind of electrolyser utilized. In the blog, we take an in-depth look at three hydrogen electrolyser technologies: Alkaline and Solid. We discuss their modes of operation, relative advantages, and proper site applications for each.   Hydrogen Electrolysers: What are they? Hydrogen electrolysers use electricity to perform water electrolysis, separating water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The resulting hydrogen can then be stored, transported, and used as a clean fuel for various applications, from industrial processes to powering fuel cells. Various electrolysers have different uses, efficiencies, operational temperatu...

Maintenance and Safety Tips for Optimal Performance of Converter Transformers

Image
  A Converter transformer is a crucial link to HVDC transmission systems for effective energy conversion and reliable operation. Maintenance and safety are the prime issues when designing at high load and voltage levels. Negligence in regular upkeep may result in operational inefficiency, expensive downtime, and hazardous conditions. This blog discusses critical maintenance and safety advice that will keep the converter transformer operating at its optimum and safe throughout its life cycle. 1. Regular Visual Inspections The first method of maintaining the converter transformer involves frequent visual inspection. The key things to look out for are wear, corrosion, or damage to components such as bushings, gaskets, and radiators. Also, check the oil level in the transformer for leaks, as these may indicate internal problems that need urgent action. Tip: Set up a project to run weekly or bi-weekly inspections to watch for the first signs of wear and tear.   2. Oil Testing an...
