Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a variable controllable power circuit;
an electrolytic cell coupled to the variable controllable power circuit and comprising an anode and a cathode, the electrolytic cell configured to operate in different ones of multiple operating states at respective different times dependent on a potential difference between the anode and the cathode;
a power circuit controller that causes the variable controllable power circuit to apply a given potential difference across the anode and the cathode to initiate operation of the electrolytic cell in a particular one of the multiple operating states associated with the given potential difference, the multiple operating states comprising:
a production state associated with a first non-zero potential difference across the anode and the cathode in which a product of interest is produced by the electrolytic cell; and
an idle state associated with a second non-zero potential difference across the anode and the cathode that is insufficient to support production of the product of interest by the electrolytic cell; and
a monitoring and control subsystem configured to maintain a predefined production process condition from a set of production process conditions for the electrolytic cell while the electrolytic cell is operating in the production state and while the electrolytic cell is operating in the idle state, the predefined set of production process conditions comprising a predefined operating temperature range.
