Imagine a giant battery that doesn't store power, but uses it to split water into hydrogen gas. Usually, these machines are fragile and hate it when the power from wind or solar fluctuates. This technology acts like a smart shock absorber, allowing the machine to handle unstable power without breaking, making it last five times longer.
Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOE) is highly efficient but suffers from short lifespans and an inability to handle the fluctuating power typical of wind and solar energy.
A 1 MW Dynamic Electrolyser Unit (DEU) featuring the AC:DC power electronics platform and a custom thermal management system.
If you are a methanol producer dealing with high energy costs for hydrogen feedstock — this project developed a 1 MW electrolyser that is up to 90% efficient. This can lower OPEX (excluding electricity) by 40% compared to standard systems.
If you are a renewable energy provider dealing with intermittent power spikes that damage equipment — this project developed the AC:DC platform that enables rapid load changes. This allows the unit to operate effectively under fluctuating green power inputs.
If you are a fuel supplier dealing with the need for scalable carbon-neutral shipping fuels — this project developed a system to produce 100 tons of green H2. This provides a cost-efficient path to PtX-based green methanol.
The technology can lower OPEX (excluding electricity) by 40% compared to standard SOE systems. Additionally, it achieves electrical efficiency above 85%.
The project is developing and validating a 1 MW industrial-scale unit designed to produce 100 tons of green H2 during the project period.
The project utilizes a proprietary power electronics platform called 'AC:DC' and a modular electrolysis stack architecture based on proprietary long-lifetime solid oxide cells.
The AC:DC platform allows for rapid power ramping and temperature variation, which enables the unit to operate under intermittent renewable input.
The AC:DC method is designed to increase the lifetime of SOE stacks from 2 years to 10 years.
The project is led by a single SME, Dynelectro APS from Denmark, representing a 100% industry ratio. While the consortium is small (1 partner), they have secured a critical supply chain partnership with SolydEra for robust stack technology, indicating a lean, execution-focused commercial approach.
