STEAM ELECTROLYSER SYSTEM FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN AND CORRESPONDING METHOD

The present invention relates to a steam electrolysis system for the production of hydrogen. The system comprises at least one steam electrolyser cell, at least one feeding gas arrangement comprising at least one electric steam generator, at least one feeding gas supply route for supplying a flow of feeding gas comprising at least steam from the at least one feeding gas arrangement to the at least one steam electrolyser cell, at least one gas moving device for removing hydrogen from the at least one steam electrolyser cell, and at least one external power supply source for operating the system. The at least one external power supply is electrically coupled to the at least one electric steam generator of the feeding gas arrangement and to the least one steam electrolyser cell. The at least one steam electrolyser cell and the at least one electric steam generator are electrically connected in parallel.
