In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that Sungrow Hydrogen, a Chinese electrolyzer manufacturer, has recently expanded its testing capacity to 30MW at its empirical platform in China. This expansion includes the addition of a 10MW+ alkaline electrolyzer testing platform and a 2.5MW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) testing system, according to the report. The company’s upgrades are strategically aimed at addressing key “industry pain points,” with the alkaline platform now capable of full-scenario testing that includes both stack testing (ranging from 1,000-3,000Nm3/hr) and coordination of multi-stack systems (4×1,000Nm3/hr). This enhancement not only improves testing throughput but also supports more complex system evaluations, the report added. The report also highlighted that Sungrow’s initiatives are set to bolster the reliability of their systems through extreme condition simulations and guarantee an impressive 99.999% purity of hydrogen output, thanks to advanced power management and separation systems. With the new capabilities, Sungrow has reduced the on-site commissioning time for 1,000Nm3/hr units to under a week, thanks to the elimination of substandard membranes and the implementation of virtual simulation debugging.
