Weidmüller Interface Advanced Stack Condition Monitoring Enhances Efficiency in Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers with Data-Driven Solutions

Cengiz Oguzoglu from Weidmüller Interface discusses improving stack condition monitoring for hydrogen plants, fuel cells, and electrolyzers. He outlines the process by explaining three key topics: understanding current operations, highlighting unique aspects of their approach in this field (including machine learning), and making data more efficient and meaningful. Weidmüller employs over 6,000 people across 65 countries with a turnover of approximately 1.2 billion euros annually. They invest significantly in new factories and logistics centers while bringing around 120 new products to market each year. Their primary markets include machinery, wheat industry equipment, PV systems, wind energy solutions, and process industries. Their expertise lies in power signal data transmission—from connectivity to cloud technology—across various industries like wind power and photovoltaics. The company's mission emphasizes seamless data handling from sensor acquisition to cloud integration using preprocessing layers followed by analysis through visualization tools or machine learning techniques. In addressing customer issues such as cell degradation or gas crossover in fuel cells/electrolyzers; they focus on collecting vital parameters like voltage levels/temperature/compression/vibration/pressure quality metrics before feeding these into customizable Lego-like modular setups that transfer insights directly onto SCADA systems/local servers/cloud networks ensuring both operator independence & satisfaction alike ultimately leading towards enhanced operational efficiency overall!

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
