[0079] Numerical integration calculations were performed on the alkaline electrolyzer using a fixed time step to obtain simulated time-series data on temperature, efficiency, and hydrogen concentration in oxygen for each sample group. Specifically, numerical integration calculations involve converting a system of differential equations in the continuous time domain into a system of difference equations using discretization methods (such as Euler schemes or trapezoidal schemes), and then progressively solving for the numerical solutions of the system state variables within a preset fixed time interval. The fixed time step refers to the fact that during the simulation calculation, the time domain is uniformly divided into several equal time intervals (0.2 seconds in this embodiment), and the length of each time interval remains constant.

[0088] S4, based on the time series polynomial fitting model, a global sensitivity analysis method is used to quantify the influence degree of each control variable on the electrolytic cell state variable (temperature, efficiency and hydrogen concentration in oxygen);

[0089] The specific process of the global sensitivity analysis method is as follows:

[0090] Based on Sobol sensitivity index, the time series polynomial fitting model is decomposed, and the first-order sensitivity and global sensitivity of each control variable are calculated. The calculation formula is as follows:
