Objective New energy markets will require efficient, low cost, small size electrolysers in the MW power range for the macro storage of mainly renewable electric energy for load management and frequency control of the power grid and for the build up of a hydrogen infrastructure mainly for H2-vehicles. The objectives are to develop and test an innovative kind of 30 bar pressure electrolyser in the MW power range which has the following features: high efficiency price below 500 / kW installed small foot print load variable within 10% up to 120% of nominal load unattended, reliable operation integration of functional components in one single pressure vessel (Pressure Module Electrolyser , PME) no lye pump separate lye streams high product gas purity high safety. The entire concept is innovative and the first of its kind. A patent has been applied for.
