H-TEC SYSTEMS has announced the delivery of its ME450 PEM electrolyzer to the Hydrogen Lab Bremerhaven (HLB), a research project at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES. General contractor for the project is Wenger Engineering GmbH. The one megawatt ME450 PEM electrolyzer from H-TEC SYSTEMS is part of a test field which focuses on researching the interaction of wind turbines with electrolytic hydrogen production. The electricity required for the electrolysis process is provided by an on-site wind turbine installation.
HLB offers a highly innovative test infrastructure that allows scientists to investigate the interaction between a wind turbine facility and an electrolyzer under real-life conditions. PEM electrolysis is ideal for this as this technology can deal particularly well with fluctuating energy sources such as wind energy.
“The Hydrogen Lab Bremerhaven is an essential element for the research and further development of large electrolyzers and fuel cells. As general contractor and planner, we are very pleased that the collaboration between Wenger Engineering and H-TEC SYSTEMS went smoothly and are looking forward to seeing the research results from this worldwide unique test environment,” said Dr. David Wenger, Managing Director of Wenger Engineering.
“The hydrogen infrastructure project at the Hydrogen Lab Bremerhaven will make a significant contribution to the development and integration of hydrogen technology and further advance the vision of a low-carbon future. The successful commissioning of our electrolyzer marks a decisive step towards the realization of a sustainable hydrogen economy. We are delighted about being part of this exciting project,” explained Robin v. Plettenberg, CEO of H-TEC SYSTEMS.
