Low-temperature electrolysis system modelling: A review

This review provides an exhaustive and comprehensive analysis of the existing modelling works about low temperature electrolysis system: alkaline and proton exchange membrane (PEM) technologies. In order to achieve this review, a classification was built, based on different criteria such as physical domains involved or modelling approaches. The proposed methodology allows both exposing an overview of the electrolysis system modelling field and providing a deep analysis of each reviewed model. Actual strengths, weaknesses and lacks in this research field are pointed out and the performed analysis provides ideas for future research in this area.
