The steel industry has embarked on a decarbonization journey to address significant carbon footprint, with hydrogen a key abatement lever for decarbonization, steelmakers are facing challenges to scale hydrogen production at attractive cost, including sourcing of sufficient renewable energy.
Scaling green hydrogen production from few kilo-watts to giga-watt scale requires intense efforts in terms of analysis around electrical designs, electrolyser selection and optimization across the complete value chain.
Technologies like digital twins which help in analysis of hybrid electrical networks and the process needs are helping engineering companies to design the green hydrogen production facilities which are fit for purpose and scalable.
Similarly, automation with integrated architecture helps in managing the complete production cycle from choosing the cheapest energy source to management of intermittency of power generation and associated downstream continuous process.
Digital twins developed during design phase support efficiency improvement during operate and maintain phase supporting energy optimization and reduced unscheduled downtime.
We will discuss how during different phases of the project, such digital solutions help de-risk the projects, improve performance and reduce overall cost.
