Siemens Energy develops, builds and markets PEM-based water electrolyzers. In SEGIWA, basic principles are to be developed to transfer the series Silyzers300 series from manual production to series production in the direction of gigawatt expansion. In line with the national hydrogen strategy, the aim is to achieve a low-friction market ramp-up. Concepts for scaling electrolyzer production on an industrial scale support this ramp-up. The academic partners are developing methods for process control and quality assurance. Alternatives to catalysts and membranes are being considered and possibly transferred to series production. MES, automation, production-accompanying online analytics and the digital twin form core work packages.
The subject of the present sub-project are the contributions of the partner LUH to the SEGIWA work package 4 "De-risking through digital integration of the value chain". The main focus of the planned work is on the scientific support of the development of the so-called FleetTwin, a digital twin, with the help of which the continuous analysis of the operating data of the numerous customer plants created in the context of series production should be possible. In this way a feedback loop can be established from the field into production as well as into development and engineering.
