Hydrogenics to supply renewables R&D centre

Hydrogenics has been selected to provide a hydrogen electrolyser and fuel cell for the new Renewable Hydrogen Research and Demonstration Centre at the Baglan Energy Park. Air Liquide was selected to integrate the whole hydrogen solution.

The Centre, which is being developed by the University of Glamorgan is the first of its kind in Wales, and will explore the potential use of hydrogen as one of the key fuels of the future and show how hydrogen can be produced from local sources. It is intended the project will bring together academic and industry expertise and research, providing a hub for hydrogen business development throughout Wales.

Hydrogenics will provide its HySTAT-10 electrolyser driven by wind turbines for the production of hydrogen, which will then be used to power a Hydrogenics 1 x HyPM 12 fuel cell power module. The hydrogen will also be used to fuel hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, including a delivery van and a shuttle bus previously integrated with a Hydrogenics fuel cell power module.

UPS Systems plc, independent specialists in standby power solutions, designed and will install the fuel cell system for the Baglan Energy Park project. In addition to the Hydrogenics HyPM fuel cell module, the system includes two inverters and a specially designed controller that manages the system and allows it to interact with other renewable energy sources.
