High-Voltage Direct Current Supply for Massive Production of Hydrogen

A fossil-free society requires that important industrial processes and specific transports are provided with hydrogen. Great amounts of hydrogen have to be produced and it has to be made using renewable electricity.

This electricity is often produced at great distance from hydrogen consumption centers, which indicates that high-voltage direct current supply is a reasonable solution.

As electrolyzers are supplied from a low voltage, a modular technology converting very high direct voltages to comparably low voltages is necessary.

No such technology is available today, and the project, therefore, will search for realistic solutions providing high energy efficiency and cost efficiency.

As Hitachi Energy is part of the project group, a fortunate project may lead to a product development, and a strengthened Swedish industry on an enormous market.
