9 HyProvide

10 HyProvide All about the focus on electrolysis by the industry and policy makers! HyProvide and associated projects totals more than 15 m ( ) Hyprovide is a common name for several Danish electrolysis projects

11 HyProvide projects H2 Logic IRD Fuel Cell A/S Hydrogen Refueling Stations HyProvide the LT PEM track GreenHydrogen.dk A/S Large-scale alkaline electrolyser Danish Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Benchmarking test, standardization and coordination of electrolysis projects

12 HyProvide Coordination Ensure synergies, work on industry test methods, standardization and knowledge sharing Develop test procedures and develop a common ground for benchmarking FCH Test Center is the technical project manager. Participants: IRD Fuel Cell A/S, GreenHydrogen.dk A/S, Haldor Topsøe A/S (associated), H2 Logic A/S, DTU Energy Conversion and the Danish Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells (coordinator).

13 IRD Fuel Cells - LT PEMEC Stack development IRD is a high technology company devoted to research, development and production of fuel cell and electrolysis technology. Through strong competencies within electrochemistry, chemistry and material science along with electronic and mechanical engineering, IRD has transformed ideas and patents developed over more than 10 years to commercial viable fuel cell products. Technical data: Nominal operational pressure of 10 MPa (100 bar) Water cooled to increase durability and offer the possibility of heat for central heating >75% efficiency 1.2 A/cm 2 & 1.68 V after 2,000 hours of cont. operation Hydrogen purity > % We provide sustainable power to people anywhere

14 IRD - The integrated µ-chp electrolyzer system The solution for residential heat and power The advantages of the PEMEC include: Direct production of compressed bar for effective storage Operation at higher current densities > 1.0 A/cm2, thus very compact equipment Long runtime without maintenance. High gas purity (>99.995% for hydrogen) Ability to cope with transient variations in electrical power input, e.g. from PV No need for an expensive hydrogen grid We provide sustainable power to people anywhere

15 H2 Logic A/S HRS (HyProvide) H2 Logic is a leading developer of hydrogen & fuel cell technology that enables sustainable & zero emission electric propulsion of vehicles with the same ease of use as fossil fuels. Established in employees R&D and manufacturing of two focused products within hydrogen and fuel cells HyProvide project consists of development of 70MPa refueling systems, improvement of efficiency, cost reduction and more Securing interface with electrolyzers and develop benchmark test procedure

16 GreenHydrogen.dk A/S - Large-scale alkaline electrolyser (MW) Greenhydrogen.dk ApS was founded in 2007 and is owned by six companies: EnergiMidt Udvikling A/S, Hollensen Energy A/S, Dantherm Power A/S, Nortec- Optomatic A/S, Strandmøllen A/S og Innovation MidtVest A/S Business area: Scalable alkaline electrolyzers for production of hydrogen in association with storage of renewable energy We develop and manufacture standard electrolysis plants. Modular systems ensure optimized plants with high system efficiency, high reliability and simple installation. Capacities from 2 Nm3 / h up to 80 Nm3 / h. HyProvide project is about developing a modular alkaline electrolyzer from 250 kw to 5 MW size. Project together with Siemens, DTU and Aarhus University

17 The Danish Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Danish manufacturers, research institutions, network organizations and authorities under a common goal: Promoting hydrogen and fuel cells in Denmark

18 Industry standards & test methods

19 Industry-wide accepted test methods? An industry need for comparability, reliability at cell, stack and system level A national effort in electrolysis technologies subsequently internationally Various target groups: System integrators, industrial customers, private consumers Application specific parameters Involvement of manufacturers as well as potential users

20 The industry need Approval and CE-marking EU Harmonized standards Specific industry standards Example on system integrator selection criteria Price Efficiency Outlet pressure Foot print

21 CE-marking, directives, national legislation and standards The following EU directives are often relevant to electrolyzer plants: Gas Appliances Directive (GAD), Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC), Machinery Directive (MD), Low Voltage Directive (LVD), ATEX directive National legislation: Building codes, Polution/exhaust control, Gas handling, Work safety control etc. Standards: ISO :2008 Hydrogen Generators using water Electrolysis Process - Part 1: Industrial and Commercial Applications ISO :2011 Hydrogen Generators using water Electrolysis Process - Part 2: Residential Applications ISO TS 20100:2008 Gaseous Hydrogen Service Stations Authority Management for stationary hydrogen and fuel cell projects outside the hydrogen processing industry, 2012, Henrik Iskov, Danish Gas Technology Centre (

22 Comparability, compatability and benchmarking Can the codes and standards e.g. allow for comparison of: Product expected life time Degradation Performance under specific hydrogen generation levels Are the codes and standards too broad? Application specific generation profiles? Optimal operation levels? Electrolyzer technology?

23 What can fulfill the industry need? Test procedures described for different: Application areas Technologies Interfaces The Hyprovide coordination project will bring together industry along the value chain to customers to define what parameters are most essential to include in test procedures. Not the first time this issue is brought up: Within Fuel Cells: FCTESTNET, FCTESQA Stack-Test

24 Stack-Test Project Stack-Test - FCH-JU GA Duration: September 2012 August 2015 Propose and validate industrially relevant test procedures for PEFC stacks. Generic test modules. Application specific test programs Address Function / performance Endurance Environment / Safety Interact with industry, form and liaise with international advisory group, liaise with international standard developing organizations The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/ ) for the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Technology Initiative under grant n

25 Outlook & Contact

26 Outlook Promissing work done within fuel cells Can and should it be adopted by SDOs? Is it possible to make e.g. standards for a variete of technologies, different applications areas and numerous parameters, without it being too complex?
