Ja – und das ist ein entscheidender Vorteil für die konstante Verfügbarkeit von grünem Wasserstoff. Die automatisierte Steuerung von Elektrolyseuren erhöht nicht nur die Effizienz, sondern auch die Betriebssicherheit. Prozesse wie Druckregelung, Gasreinhaltung oder Ventilsteuerung lassen sich dezentral oder zentral intelligent verbinden.
Mit dem globalen Ausbau von hochwertigem Wasserstoff steigen auch die Anforderungen an Qualität, Sicherheit und Geschwindigkeit in der Herstellung. Wer heute Wasserstoff in großen Mengen erzeugen will, muss auf hohe Verfügbarkeit, Wiederholgenauigkeit und lückenlose Dokumentation setzen – klassische Stärken automatisierter Systeme. Gerade bei der Nutzung von erneuerbaren Energiequellen sorgt eine präzise Steuerung und Regelung der Medienströme dafür, dass die Herstellung jederzeit optimal auf das volatile Energieangebot abgestimmt ist.
The answer is clear: very safe. Hydrogen is highly reactive, extremely flammable and difficult to detect, hence functional safety plays such a central role. For example, systems have to be certifiable in accordance with the IEC 61508 (SIL) standard in order to protect people, the environment and the system. Festo offers both individual components and complete automation solutions that are designed for functional safety and are extremelyreliable in operation.
Not if it is produced efficiently. Automation saves energy during production, lowers high maintenance costs and enables continuous operation, even in energy-intensive industries such as chemicals, steel or cement. When combined with renewable energies, this creates an economically viable modelfor sustainable production. After all, the more affordable hydrogen is, the better it is for these industries. Another advantage is that companies canmake an active contribution to decarbonisation and at the same time benefit from a positive image on the market.
