A comprehensive literature review of current water electrolyzer modelling research was conducted and presented models critically evaluated. Based on the literature review this paper presents an open-source MATLAB toolbox for water electrolyzer polarisation curve parametrization and modelling. The modelling capabilities of the tooling were verified using measured PEM and alkaline water electrolyzer polarisation data. As real-world measurement data is rarely ideal, tests were also conducted using suboptimal data, first with data sets that have a low number of measurement points and secondly with data sets that have low or high current densities missing. The tooling is shown to work with a wide variety of use cases and provides an automated method for modelling and parametrization of electrolyzer polarisation curves.
