In the H2Giga hydrogen flagship project, scientists are researching the serial production of electrolysers. The aim is to ensure that Germany's demand for green hydrogen can be met in the long term. In the H2Giga sub-projects FertiRob and HyPLANT100, the Chair of Production Systems is researching automation for the industrialisation of hydrogen production.

Project FertiRob

The assembly of a stack is highly complex. In the FertiRob project, researchers are therefore developing an automated production facility.

The main objectives of the project are to research, develop and implement automation solutions for the various sub-problems involved in the manufacturing and assembly of stacks and electrolysers. The focus is on flexible applicability, easy scalability and reducing the manual effort required for the engineering of the production facilities.

Project HyPLANT100

In the HyPLANT100 project, scientists are developing an efficient method for assembling and installing large electrolyser systems. The central question here is how a number of individual electrolysers can be automatically configured and assembled into a GW-range plant in an application- and cost-optimised manner.

The aim of the HyPLANT100 project is to increase the efficiency of electrolyser construction by (partially) automating cabinet assembly at decentralised locations and ensuring efficient assembly at the installation site. The project also aims to provide recommendations for standardisation that will accelerate and simplify these processes in the future.
