August 8-10, 2024, the 2nd World Hydrogen Industry Expo was grandly held at Area A of the Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou. At the conference, EVE Hydrogen Energy's Product Manager, Cai Gui Han, unveiled the company's "Wukong" series AEM hydrogen production system products, leading the AEM electrolytic water hydrogen production industry into a new future.
At the launch, Cai Gui Han stated: "Driven by the dual goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, hydrogen energy, as a strategic resource for energy transition, has unlocked new codes for the modern energy system. However, in the diversified scenarios of hydrogen use, there are always two major pain points for terminal hydrogen use: difficult equipment maintenance and high electricity costs."
Therefore, the "Wukong" series AEM hydrogen production system is designed based on the company's self-developed AEM membrane electrode, AEM electrolyzer, and system architecture in three dimensions, directly targeting the two major pain points of terminal hydrogen use, and redefining the AEM hydrogen production system.
01 Golden Cudgel
— Compact Size, Powerful Energy, Configurable as Needed
The core of the "Wukong" system is the hydrogen production module, which is a modular unit composed of a 5kW AEM electrolyzer and BOP system. It can operate independently with 220V city electricity, with a hydrogen production rate as high as 1 Nm³/h, and the size is only 0.45×0.45×0.65 m.
At the same time, we have launched a cabinet-type hydrogen production system on this basis, integrating the power supply system, water supply system, and drying system, truly achieving optimal resource allocation and intelligent management.
02 Seventy-Two Transformations
— Flexible Expansion, Meeting Diversified Needs
In addition, we have carefully created a container-type hydrogen production system based on the cabinet-type hydrogen production system. The auxiliary system adopts a centralized design, which can efficiently integrate the purification and water supply system, and the hydrogen production module can be flexibly stacked according to actual needs, suitable for 1-200 Nm³ hydrogen production scenarios.
03 Fiery Eyes of Wisdom & Clone Technique
— Fault Identification, Avoiding Downtime
Thanks to the modular design concept adopted by the "Wukong" system, we have significantly reduced the impact of equipment downtime on users' economic benefits. Through the ingenious modular stacking form, whether it is a cabinet-type or container-type hydrogen production device, it is divided into multiple independent operating units, directly changing the "one damage, all damaged" situation under the traditional single electrolyzer overall structure from the design.
04 Somersault Cloud
— Quick Start, Maximizing the Utilization of Green Electricity/Valley Electricity
The "Wukong" system has undergone a series of strict performance tests, showing extraordinary performance strength. Under cold conditions, it can reach the rated working condition of 100% load in only 20 minutes, and the hot start is second-level response, which helps the device interact with the power system, improving the utilization of wind and light green electricity and valley electricity.
Taking the distributed photovoltaic off-grid coupled hydrogen production as an example, this is a typical photovoltaic daily output curve, with an effective sunshine duration of about 6-8 hours a day. The "Wukong" system can quickly reach the rated hydrogen production condition, increasing the daily utilization hours by 0.5-1h, just like equipping the green electricity to hydrogen energy process with an "accelerator".
05 Fixing Method
— Stable Performance, Efficient Hydrogen Production
In addition to the eye-catching quick response ability, the "Wukong" system is also equipped with high-performance AEM membrane electrodes independently developed and mass-produced by EVE Hydrogen Energy, with a direct current power consumption as low as 4.5 kWh/Nm³. At the same time, relying on EVE Hydrogen Energy's strong AEM membrane material manufacturing system and a production capacity of tens of thousands of square meters, the quality and continuous supply of the membrane material are effectively ensured. Therefore, compared with traditional high-energy-consuming hydrogen production equipment, the Wukong system effectively reduces the electricity cost of the entire life cycle of the equipment.
In the future, the "Wukong" hydrogen production system equipped with high-performance AEM membrane electrodes will rely on its flexible design concept and rapid response ability to help diversify hydrogen use scenarios for energy saving and emission reduction, providing customers with a longer life cycle and more economical one-stop AEM hydrogen production system solution, leading the AEM electrolytic water hydrogen production industry into a new future!
