H-Tec Systems has chosen AEG Power to supply is package solution for a hydrogen production plant being built in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany by Energie des Nordens (EdN) today (June 2).
The project is looking to optimise local wind energy production by implementing an electrolyser that will use excess power to produce hydrogen as opposed to switching off the turbines.
The plant currently contributes to the supply of around 20,000 proWindgas customers of Greenpeace Energy and, with the implementation of the electrolyser, the renewable gas can be stored in the existing gas network or converted back into electricity.
H-Tec Systems will equip the plant with a ME 450/1400 proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser for the production of green hydrogen.
The company supplies the high-tech electrolysers for the project as a turnkey solution that is integrated into containers with the compact solutions capable of being implemented anywhere.
To supply the power to its modular and flexibly deployable electrolysers, H-Tec Systems has chosen AEG Power’s Thyrobox DC 3 systems for its flexibility and high efficiency.
The Thyrobox DC 3 has been designed to provide power and minimised harmonics at part loads, which contributes to the overall energy efficiency and limited distortions to the grid feeder.
Andreas Becker, Head of Grid & Storage business at AEG Power Solutions, said, “H-Tec Systems containerised electrolysis process is very innovative and cost efficient.
“Our concept of flexible power supply modules matches closely this approach, and we are very proud to be part of the project at Haurup which is a very good example of how to optimise wind power generation through green hydrogen production.”
