Bypassing properly operating cells

A method comprising:

• determining that a first electrolytic cell in a first electrolyzer stack is associated with a first set of performance criteria that fails to satisfy one or more operating conditions;
• identifying a second electrolytic cell that is associated with a second set of performance criteria that satisfies the one or more operating conditions;
• and
• bypassing the first electrolytic cell and the second electrolytic cell in response to determining that the first electrolytic cell in the first electrolyzer stack is associated with the first set of performance criteria that fails to satisfy the one or more operating conditions and based on identifying the second electrolytic cell that is associated with the second set of performance criteria that satisfies the one or more operating conditions.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for determining that a first electrolytic cell in a first electrolyzer stack is associated with a first set of performance criteria that fails to satisfy one or more operating conditions;
• means for identifying a second electrolytic cell that is associated with a second set of performance criteria that satisfies the one or more operating conditions;
• and
• means for bypassing the first electrolytic cell and the second electrolytic cell in response to determining that the first electrolytic cell in the first electrolyzer stack is associated with the first set of performance criteria that fails to satisfy the one or more operating conditions and based on identifying the second electrolytic cell that is associated with the second set of performance criteria that satisfies the one or more operating conditions.
