OBTAINING A PRODUCT BY ELECTROLYSIS
A method for obtaining a product by electrolysis, including: a) determining a set point for a production output by minimizing a first mathematical function, which depends on the production output and on a predicted product demand; b) determining respective set points for multiple process parameters by minimizing a second mathematical function, which depends on the set point for the production output determined in a), on the process parameters and on predicted degradation effects; c) determining respective set points for changes of multiple control parameters by minimizing a third mathematical function, which depends on the set points for the process parameters determined in b) and on the changes of the control parameters; and d) obtaining the product by performing the electrolysis using the set points for the changes of the control parameters determined in c).
OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE WITH A FLUID SUPPLY ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A CLEANING UNIT
An offshore wind turbine erected in a body of water includes a generator, a foundation, a nacelle, a tower having a first end mounted to the foundation and a second end supporting the nacelle, an electrolytic unit arranged above a water level and electrically powered by the generator to produce hydrogen from an input fluid, in particular water, and a fluid supply assembly for supplying the input fluid from a fluid inlet arranged below the water level to the electrolytic unit by means of a fluid connection, wherein the fluid supply assembly includes a cleaning unit configured to clean a build-up formed along an area extending through the inner part of at least a part of the fluid connection or formed at the fluid inlet.
ELECTROLYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE OF THE SAME
An object of the present disclosure is to suppress mixing of gases generated during an operation when supply of electric power is stopped, to thereby shorten the time required for restarting after the electric power is stopped. An electrolysis system of the present disclosure includes an electrolyzer including an electrolytic cell in which an anode and a cathode are overlapped with each other having a diaphragm interposed therebetween, and a liquid surface level control unit which is operated when an electric conduction to the electrolyzer is stopped to adjust a liquid surface level of an electrolytic solution in the electrolytic cell.

Flow cell decontamination
A controller stops flow of posolyte through a positive electrode chamber of a flow cell to trap the posolyte within the positive electrode chamber and hydraulically isolate the flow cell without stopping flow of negolyte through a negative electrode chamber of the flow cell, discharges the flow cell until hydrogen gas is evolved at a reactive surface of the positive electrode chamber while the posolyte is trapped within the positive electrode chamber, and subsequently discontinues the discharge and restarts the flow of the posolyte through the positive electrode chamber.
