Abstract

Climate change continues to be one of the biggest existential crises mankind has ever faced. The need of the hour is to battle the climate change and all industrial sectors that produce carbon dioxide (CO2) must play a role. Of late, there has been a growing interest in the application of Hydrogen as a fuel across different industries. This seminar focuses on the role of Hydrogen in the power generation industry and how can it help meeting the carbon neutrality goal.

Energy in Transition, Hydrogen production and infrastructure

Speaker

Stephen Cunniffe – Product Manager Hydrogen Systems

Bibliography

Abstract

The presentation would cover current UK market, key developments and then a selection of projects looking across a range of projects in terms of hydrogen production and the infrastructure systems for hydrogen.

Doosan has a large selection of projects covering a range of areas, from previous elements like the rephlex project with localised hydrogen economy, to more current green hydrogen production, other types of hydrogen production including module system for production. Infrastructure systems, looking at storage transport and delivery of hydrogen.

Jan Seidl trained as a product designer at RMA in 1994, where he took over the position of sales manager for measurement technology in 2016. Jan Seidl is the main contact person for customers, technology and channel partners.

Mr Tobias Pfirrmann: Tobias Pfirrmann is the Head of the Department Measuring and Control at RMA. Before joining RMA he worked more than 12 years for the company inotech Meter Calibration systems, a leading supplier of test- and calibration equipment for the gas and energy sector, as Head of development department. In this position he lead an interdisciplinary team of engineers and was responsible for the development of electronics, software and complete solutions for state of the art test and calibration equipment.

He is an electronics engineer having graduated from the University of Applied Sciences (HKA) in Karlsruhe as a Dipl.-Ing.

Abstract

The importance of hydrogen as an energy carrier is growing all the time. Concepts are being developed worldwide to upgrade the existing gas network for hydrogen. Manufacturers of gas-carrying products, such as RMA itself, are testing their products for hydrogen compatibility. Of course, the hydrogen compatibility of all wetted parts plays a major role. But what about the measurement technology? High-pressure test benches operated with natural gas exist all over the world. But it is in the nature of things that the measurement results for operation with natural gas are different from those for operation with hydrogen.

To solve this problem, the RMA company from southern Germany is building the world's largest hydrogen test rig. Gas meters can be tested and calibrated here at up to 6.500 m³/h and 51 bar with pure hydrogen. Thus, the company RMA takes a pioneering role, which, however, gives an entire industry the opportunity to use the missing piece of the puzzle in the implementation of the hydrogen strategy. The planning and implementation are supervised by the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt), the German metrological authority.
