commissioning of ONE(1) only, fully automated 2000W PEM
Electrolyzer Test System
The Test System will be used for the following:
To characterize performance on PEM elecrolyser stacks through
current-voltage curves and H2/O2 gas production rates;
To run durability profiles, simulating real-world use of a PEM
electrolyser over long-term testing;
Test station will play a key role in serving industrial
stakeholders under the Energy Storage program.
The Greenlight PEM Electrolyser Test System (ETS) is the only
ETS that has the following required features.
Ability of users to program the test station for unattended 24/7
dynamic operation (users can make durability profiles, or
convert real-world wind turbine or solar panel data to scripts);
Test station can be remotely controlled and can email/text
messages to operators to notify for problems for increased
safety;
Allows the test article to be pre-pressurized at any pressure up
to 30 bar, such that testing can begin immediately, and the
electrolyser does not need to build up its own pressure; and
Includes a highly accurate cell voltage monitoring system that
can be expanded for future testing up to1kV range. The accuracy
of the CVM system is +/-1mV per cell using 16 bit A/D resolution.
