Sungrow Hydrogen has expanded its electrolysis capacity to 30MW at its empirical platform in China.
In a bid to “meet diverse needs” and address “industry pain points,” Sungrow has added a 10MW+ alkaline electrolyser testing platform and a 2.5MW PEM testing system.
The Chinese electrolyser manufacturer has stated its alkaline platform can achieve full-scenario testing capabilities, including stack testing (1,000-3,000Nm3/hr) and 4×1,000Nm3/hr multi-stack system coordination.
H2 View understands that Sungrow’s testing operations will enhance reliability with extreme condition simulations, ensure 99.999% purity through advanced power and separation systems, and integrate AI-driven leak detection with rapid emergency shutdown controls.
In an online statement, Sungrow said, “The upgrade of the base signifies not just an increase in capacity but a precise response to industry pain points. It aims to break through the bottlenecks of single machine testing and construct a full lifecycle digital verification system.”
By eliminating substandard membranes and accelerating product iteration with virtual simulation debugging, Sungrow enhances electrolyser quality and reduces on-site commissioning for 1,000Nm3/hr units to under a week.
Overall, the site in China has six advanced testing platforms, including an alkaline and PEM hydrogen production system test platform, a PWM hydrogen production power supply test platform, a cluster control test platform, a test platform for key materials of hydrogen production systems and a demonstration platform of renewable power-to-gas-to-power systems.
Sungrow Hydrogen targets European hydrogen market for 2025
Sungrow Hydrogen sees significant potential in the European market, but stronger communication with hydrogen industry developers will be key to unlocking this opportunity, according to General Manager, Jason Jin.
The Chinese alkaline and PEM electrolyser manufacturer attended the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Hamburg, Germany, last month (October), intending to connect with key players in the European hydrogen industry.
Jin told H2 View that he sees great potential for Sungrow in the European market, but added that many in the continent “don’t know enough about Sungrow Hydrogen.”
