abstract = {Proton exchange membrane electrolytic cell (PEMEC) are
complex multivariate electrochemical systems that have
emerged as a prominent technology for generating green
hydrogen. To reduce costs and accelerate the commercial
deployment of PEMECs, it is crucial to develop accurate
predictive models that enable to capture the inherent
nonlinearities of PEM electrolyzers efficiently. Therefore,
in this study, we develop data-based surrogate models for
PEMEC with supported and unsupported catalyst layers using
support vector regression (SVR), extreme gradient boosting
(XGB), and artificial neural networks (ANN) machine learning
techniques. These models are developed by using the datasets
obtained from an analytical model and a physics-based
one-dimensional numerical model of PEMEC. The dataset
obtained from the one-dimensional model was split into
datasets for supported and unsupported catalyst layers,
based on the electronic conductivity of the anodecatalyst.
The performance prediction of these three models is
evaluated and compared with physics-based modeling results.
We find that both ANN and XGB models performwell in
predicting the cell current density. Therefore, the ANN
model is selected to perform parametric analysis to
investigate the effect of operating conditions and transport
properties of the anode side. Both SHAP and sensitivity
analysis reveal that the operating temperature is the most
important parameter affecting the performance of the PEMEC.
For supported catalyst layers, the influence of membrane
thickness is greater than the catalyst’s electronic
conductivity. However, in the case of unsupported catalysts
layers, the SHAP values for electronic conductivity are
found to be larger than membrane thickness},
