Abstract
An electrolysis system for breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen using at least two electrolysis modules, each electrolysis module having at least two electrolytic cells, an electrolytic cell having an anode compartment and a cathode compartment, the anode compartment being separated from the cathode compartment by a proton exchange membrane, and a switching device, which is compatible with direct current, being arranged electrically in parallel with at least one electrolysis module. The electrolysis system is operated by the at least two electrolysis modules. When the available electrical power decreases, at least one switching device is closed. At least one electrolysis module is bridged by the switching device. The number of electrolysis modules which are then operated is reduced by the number of bridged electrolysis modules. When the available electrical power increases, at least one switching device is opened.
