China Hydrogen Alliance Completes Testing of 5MW Alkaline Electrolyzer System

January 11, the No. 1 Test Field of the Green Hydrogen Demonstration and Experimentation Platform, led by the China Hydrogen Alliance, completed a four-day "5MW Alkaline Electrolyzer Hydrogen Production System Integrated Testing Platform" validation.

 

The platform successfully carried out multiple scenario tests, including one-click cold and hot starts, polarization curve testing, wind power curve simulation, load increase and decrease testing, dynamic response testing, stable operation testing at various power levels, real-time monitoring of cell voltages, and more.

 

These advancements promote rapid sampling, high-precision measurement, wide-range dynamic parameter adjustment, and intelligent multi-scenario test management under the Hydrogen Energy Pioneer Initiative.

 

Located in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, the platform leverages the National Hydrogen Energy Key R&D Program and the National Energy Administration's first (set) technical equipment initiative. In collaboration with leading industry players, it aims to address critical pain points in China's hydrogen energy sector, including the lack of standardized performance and quality evaluation methods for key hydrogen equipment, monitoring and testing technologies, test equipment, and demonstration platforms. This initiative supports the China Hydrogen Alliance's "Hydrogen Energy Pioneer Initiative," accelerating the advancement of innovation in key hydrogen technology equipment and the improvement of standards governance.

 

Construction of the No. 1 Test Field began in March 2024 and was completed by the end of December. The facility has now been handed over. Feasibility studies for the No. 2 Test Field have also been completed.
