    ENG4903 Extended Abstract Tharindu R3

    Uploaded by

    Tharindu Rukshan
    This document summarizes a student's engineering project on modeling an alkaline electrolyzer in MATLAB Simulink and exploring the optimal ratio of electrolyzer to battery storage when integrating renewable energy. Key aspects included developing an electrolyzer model, identifying the best electrolyzer-battery mixture using Homer Pro software, and opportunities for further validation and research on other electrolyzer technologies and using hydrogen to produce ammonia.
