CurrentEdge Power Semiconductor: Smart
Integration of Electrolyzers & Renewables

About

Electrolyzers split water into hydrogen and oxygen, creating clean fuel. Most electrolyzers only connect to the AC grid and lack maximum power point tracking, wasting renewable energy.

CurrentEdge enables direct DC coupling with solar, dynamic load adjustment, and seamless integration into grid and microgrid systems- providing a flexible, modular, plug-and-play solution for hydrogen generation.

Why It Matters

• Global hydrogen market projected to reach $317B by 2030 (CAGR 9.2%)
• Addresses inefficiencies in existing electrolyzer integration
• Supports grid modernization and clean energy transition

How Might We

How might we integrate hydrogen electrolyzers directly with renewable energy systems to maximize efficiency, cut costs, and provide grid services?

Elevator Pitch

CurrentEdge is developing a power semiconductor solution that allows electrolyzers to connect directly to solar farms and renewable sources — with maximum power point tracking, dynamic control of H2 generation, and built-in grid service functions.

The result: lower costs, higher efficiency, and scalable deployment for both large grids and microgrids.
