The Electrolyzer tab in the Simulation Results window contains the following output variables.
Variable |
Description |
Rated Capacity |
The maximum electrical input power the electrolyzer can accept |
Mean Input |
The average electrical input power to the electrolyzer over the year |
Minimum Input |
The minimum electrical input power to the electrolyzer over the year |
Maximum Input |
The maximum electrical input power to the electrolyzer over the year |
Total Input Energy |
The total electrical energy that the electrolyzer consumes annually |
Capacity Factor |
The mean input power divided by the rated capacity |
Hours of Operation |
The number of hours per year that the electrolyzer produces hydrogen |
Mean Output |
The average rate of hydrogen production over the year |
Minimum Output |
The minimum rate of hydrogen production over the year |
Maximum Output |
The maximum rate of hydrogen production over the year |
Total Production |
The total amount of hydrogen produced annually by the electrolyzer |
Specific Consumption |
The average quantity of fuel consumed per kWh of thermal energy produced by the electrolyzer |
In the bottom half of the page a DMap shows the electrical power consumption of the electrolyzer in each time step of the year.
