b.degroot@siemens.comSiemens is a global technology leaderdriving innovation in industry, infrastructure and mobility through digitaltransformation. It focuses on industrial automation, distributed energy resources,rail transport and health technology. Siemens is the largest industrialmanufacturing company in Europe and global market leader in industrialautomation and industrial software. Its industrial software is used widely inthe process industries, including energy, chemicals & petrochemicals, finechemicals, food, life sciences and hydrogen.
Siemens provides software technology and relatedservices aimed at model-based innovation and engineering. Siemens AG is theowner of the gPROMS® software to be used in the project and lead participantfor all Siemens subsidiary companies in the project.
Siemens Industry Software (UK) Limited is awholly-owned subsidiary of Siemens AG, incorporated in the UK. It providessoftware and services to the process industries, allowing businesses to reducethe risk in innovation and accelerate time to market for new technologies. Relevantto GREENH2ATLANTIC, these include
· configuring mathematicalprocess models, implemented in gPROMS, for use in the design of new greenhydrogen production assets of the type envisaged in GREENH2ATLANTIC and
· configuring the gPROMS DigitalApplications Platform (gDAP), a state-of-the art environment for testing anddeploying real-time optimization applications of the type envisaged inGREENH2ATLANTIC.
Siemens brings significant expertise in digitaldesign and digital operation of green hydrogen production systems. Siemens’gPROMS platform includes mathematical models for electrolyzer systems, which itaims to use in design and operational optimisation at various stages during theproject. The models can accurately predict the behaviour of electrolyzersystems of the kind envisaged in GREENH2ATLANTIC. A significant part ofSiemens’ R&D activity is concerned with the development of novelmethodologies and techniques for the tight integration of model-basedcalculations with real-time plant systems, with expected direct relevance tohydrogen production optimisation.
Siemens are an associated partner to the Horizon2020 EPHYRA project, where it is responsible for delivering a digital twin tooptimise the green hydrogen production system at MOH’s Corinth refinery.
