h2integrate.simulation.technologies.hydrogen.electrolysis.pem_mass_and_footprint.mass(rating_mw)

Estimate the electorlyzer mass given the electrolyzer rating based on data.

Note: the largest electrolyzer data available was for 1.25 MW. Also, given the current fit, the mass goes negative for very small electrolysis systems
