ABB to install control solution for the automation of hydrogen energy project
Published on : Tuesday 19-05-2020
Lhyfe has chosen ABB to implement an automation solution at its first green hydrogen production site.
May 18, 2020 – ABB supports a wide range of industries in their digital transformation and will supply the first Lhyfe production site with its Freelance distributed control system and ABB AbilityTM Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) digital platform. These solutions will control all the elements involved in the hydrogen production process at the Bouin site in the Vendée region, France and ABB’s automation technology is being installed to deliver improved efficiency, safety and productivity across the operation. To control all the elements of the hydrogen production process at its fully automated 24/7 site in Bouin – to be inaugurated in 2021 – Lhyfe has chosen a complete ABB control solution. An integrated Freelance distributed control system (DCS) with a common and centralised database will reduce the development time and the complexity of automation systems.
With native inter-controller communication and a library of over 200 function blocks, this system will offer agility and scalability. In coordination with Lhyfe and ABB, the system integrator Bossard, ABB's partner in the Vendée, will be responsible for the design, construction, programming and commissioning of the entire solution.
ABB’s Distributed Control System is ranked number one for the 20th consecutive year, by the ARC advisory group.
Lhyfe, producer and supplier of green hydrogen, is the world pioneer in its sector. Its hydrogen is produced directly from renewable energies (wind, photovoltaic, etc.).
