Ingeteam has developed a new rectifier solution for powering electrolyzers based on IGBT technology. This new product, commercially called INGECON H2 FSK E12000, has been specially designed for large-scale green hydrogen production plants. The first units will begin to be supplied in September for a project in Germany and another in Spain.
The rectifier, which constitutes the central element of this solution, is based on IGBT technology with a harmonic distortion index of less than 3%, thanks to which it is not necessary to use additional harmonic filters or STATCOM units. It has a double liquid cooling circuit that guarantees maximum tightness (IP65) and the best possible performance of the electronic components, IGBTs, and power phases.
INGECON H2 FSK E12000 solution
The converter model with an extended voltage range for the electrolyzers reaches 1500 VDC operating voltage The INGECON H2 FSK E12000 solution has a nominal output current of 12,000 ADC, although it can reach up to 15,860 ADC maximum current, which is safely supplied to the electrolyzer thanks to a pre-charge system that controls the input of energy to the electrolyzer or electrolyzers during their start-up.
This power station features a modular design that allows power between one and four electrolyzers at the same time independently. It is normally supplied as a turnkey solution where, apart from the rectifiers (up to two units), the rest of the elements necessary for its medium voltage connection to the network are included.
Furthermore, Ingeteam now has a new converter model with an extended voltage range for those electrolyzers that reach 1500 VDC operating voltage.
