Hydrogen energy is one of the most important technologies in the new climate-neutral energy landscape. Green hydrogen generation from wind or solar energy is a key way to reduce CO2 emissions in industry, energy and transport. Achieving rapid, future-oriented development in the field of hydrogen requires improved electrical and electronic concepts.
As an Industrial connectivity partner, Weidmüller supplies customers around the world with products, solutions and services in the fields of energy, signaling and data. Weidmüller is not only a leading supplier of electronics and electrical connections, but also has many years of expertise in the wind energy, photovoltaics and process industries. With a unique range of areas of expertise, the company is able to offer tailor-made electrical and electrical automation solutions for the hydrogen energy industry – the Weidmüller “New Energy” arena.
Customized Solutions for the Hydrogen Industry
In the hydrogen energy industry, Weidmüller products are used in the entire process chain – from preparation, storage, supply, to reprocessing. In this context, the megatrends of industrialization and digitization are supported, which are important for the rapidly emerging hydrogen energy industry.
In the hydrogen energy industry, Weidmüller products are suitable for the entire process chain from energy production to consumption.
In the field of industrialization, Weidmüller supports the use of advanced production technologies by standardizing and modularizing electrical equipment. Pluggable sensor, data and power solutions from Weidmüller can help. In addition, there are pre-assembled functional modules for connection and control, available on request in ready-to-use steel or stainless steel housings. . SIL solutions and EX-certified products for analog and digital applications complete Weidmüller’s product range. . They ensure compliance with UL’s safety requirements and other standards required for worldwide use.
As part of digitalization, Weidmüller supports the successful creation of future-oriented value while reducing operating costs. To achieve this, Weidmüller offers solutions for condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, coordination and optimization of hydrogen production plants. Weidmüller’s u-mation portfolio includes products ranging from controllers and hot-swappable I/O systems to HMI, SCADA and AML software solutions. Advanced Ethernet components facilitate connectivity to cloud and on-site servers. They use industry-standard solutions and services and comply with current cybersecurity regulations.
Commitment to improving sustainability
Decarbonization efforts across all energy, mobility and industrial sectors are very important. Hydrogen is a key technology to replace fossil fuels. Weidmüller always upholds the attitude of responsible and sustainable development. As such, Weidmüller is a founding member of AquaVentus and a member of the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance. The AquaVentus Association is a consortium of research institutes, organizations and companies advancing the technology for producing hydrogen from offshore wind, a climate-neutral gas. The European Clean Hydrogen Alliance is committed to the further smooth development of the European hydrogen strategy, helping to achieve the climate neutrality goals set by Germany and the United Kingdom.
“If we still want to stop or at least limit climate change, we must act now. Hydrogen is a very important industry and must be developed as soon as possible. What we can contribute is our knowledge in electronics and electrical engineering, which we will use with Full of drive and passion to advance this cause.”
