Control of Variable Power Source-Coupled Electrolysers

A method comprising:

• receive a notice to perform a change an operating parameter of an electrolyser;
• retrieve and store an initial state of the electrolyser;
• apply the change to the electrolyser;
• monitor a second operating parameter of the electrolyser;
• compute a value of the monitored second operating parameter reflecting an expected response of the second operating parameter;
• when the value indicates that the monitored second operating parameter complies with the expected response, store the initial state and the change in a permitted change table;
• and
• when the value indicates that the monitored second operating parameter doesn't comply with the expected response, send a notification to decrease a second change at the initial state.

A method comprising:

• receive a notice to perform a change an operating parameter of an electrolyser;
• retrieve an initial state of the electrolyser;
• estimate intermediate states and final state based on the change and the initial state;
• for each state of the intermediate states and final state:
• retrieve a table of permitted changes for each of the intermediate states and the final state, and
• compute a smoothed change between a previous state and the next state, and
• apply the smoothed change to the electrolyser.
