Fail safe logic for all parameters (over 30 parameters controlled)

Hydrogenics reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice, in materials, equipment, specifications
and models shown in this document. These are not necessarly showing the equipment that will be installed in your system. Page 3 of 15
Annex: HySTAT-10/10 Indoor Version
Revision 1204

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) ensuring a safe shutdown in case of power failure
Constant monitoring of gas purity (HTO)
Inherent safe design (passive safety) allowing the unit to perform emergency depressurization
mechanically when the control features are down
Minimal gas presence in the system (only few Nm3 at full production)
Multiple redundancy on critical safety parameters. In addition to the standard transmitters, each
critical parameter is also controlled by a safety switch which will trigger an alarm or stop the unit
in case of abnormal operation (eg. electrolyte level, cell stack t, pressure in the system,).

3. QUALITY ASSURANCE
Hydrogenics is always looking at improving its internal production and quality process in order to
guarantee and deliver the safest and most reliable electrolyser available on the market. Therefore,
Hydrogenics as been granted:

ISO 9001:2008 ISO 14001:2004 OHSAS 18001:2007

4. RELIABILITY AND AUTOMATION


The HySTAT is carefully designed to operate fully continuously with a minimal need for human
attendance while maintaining a reliability level according to the most stringent industrial standards.

The HySTAT is starting and maintaining hydrogen production fully automatically, while the major
safety and production parameters are continuously checked. Following features are included as a
standard on our unit:

Hydrogen Pressure control: the HMI (Human Machine Interface) on the control panel allows
the operator to select the required gas pressure (between 6 and 10 barg). The HySTAT will
automatically adjust its production rate to maintain the setpoint pressure (as an option, a
pressure reduction valve can be added in order to meet the customer requirements).

Hydrogen Flow Control: Based on the pressure, the hydrogen production, and thus the
output flow of hydrogen, is continuously adjusted within the operating range to follow the actual
need. Hydrogen will be (partly) vented to the atmosphere during 20 min max. in case the flow
requirement is below the minimal capacity of the HySTAT.

Cooling automation: The cooling water flow entering the heat exchangers is continuously
adjusted by the PLC (thermostat control). This feature will ensure a constant working
temperature of the electrolysis process.

Remote I/O: using a state-of-the-art profibus connection, we have drastically reduced the
amount of interconnection cables and thus the time needed for installation. Implementing the
profisafe protocol in combination with a safe PLC and safe I/O makes the system compliant
with the most stringent actual safety codes & standards. The PLC will automatically diagnose
any communication errors, not only making the system safer but also minimizing time and effort
for troubleshooting.

Semi automatic nitrogen purge: nitrogen purge is required before starting the unit when the
internal pressure is below 15kPa. The systems PLC will sequentially activate the different

valves in the system, thus ensuring that all air is evacuated prior to hydrogen production. The
only manual action required is changing the position of two valves. This action can be
automated optionally, allowing this action to be performed by a remote operator.

5. CONTROL & MONITORING OF THE UNIT


The control panel features enhanced control & monitoring possibilities:

Remote monitoring: allows the operator to access the EXTER HMI screen located on the
control panel to control and operate the HySTAT electrolyser from a remote connection. It
displays the process parameters, trends, events, alarms,.and allows the operator to
enable/disable individual cell stacks.

A Key switch: will allow the operator to Start/Stop the unit. Safety procedure make it
compulsory to have both inside and outside key switch in the START position in order to start
the unit.

Reset button: resets the safety circuit after a trip. By pushing the reset button, the unit will fully
automatically go into production after having performed the initialization safety procedure.

EMS (emergency stop): by pushing this button, the system will immediately de-energize the
cell stacks and utilities and depressurize the system. By doing so, the system is placed in
safety mode in order to prevent any incident.

EXTER Human Interface (HMI) Touch Screen: the EXTER HMI screen is located on the
control panel and allows the operator to control and operate the HySTAT electrolyser, either
from the screen, or from a remote connection. The EXTER monitoring system includes data
logging on a compact flash card. This also allows our technicians to connect to the electrolyser
to diagnose and troubleshoot events and alarms when needed. The PLC uses the Siemens S-7
software.

The core component of the electrolysis skid is the HySTAT bipolar pressurized water-electrolysis cell
stack. The cell stack consists of circular electrolysis cells, each containing two electrodes and an
alkaline inorganic ion-exchange membrane.

The H2 and O2 are generated when current is


supplied to the cell stack. The gases are then
directed to the gas separator, which is a dual
stainless steel pressure vessel, after which they are
rinsed in a specially designed pressure vessel
located above the gas separator.

The process part equipment is made out of high


quality materials and is compliant with ATEX
directives (refer to explosion production document
for more info).

This equipment is for indoor installation only. Note that the process part generating the hydrogen is
classified to be only used in a zone II designated area. If however the process part is encapsulated

6.2.2. HPS (Hydrogen Purification system)

The Hydrogen Purification System (HPS) is designed to further purify the hydrogen to a minimum level
of 99,998%. This purity is reached in 2 stages:

Stage 1: Deoxo stage: to reduce the O2 content in the H2 gas stream by a catalytic
reaction. The output O2 in H2 is less than 10 ppm or, optionally, less than 2 ppm.

Stage 2: Dryer stage: to remove moisture in 2 dryer towers. One tower will be in
operation while the other one will be in standby/regeneration mode. The output hydrogen
will have an atmospheric dew point of less than -60C or, optionally, less than -75C.

6.3. ADITIONAL OPTIONS


6.3.1. Process options

Purity upgrade -75C, 2ppm O2


This option lowers the atmospheric dew point of the produced H2 from -60C to -75C and the O2
content in the produced H2 from 10ppm to 2 ppm.

Reduced N2 content - Frit Sparger


The frit sparger is a device implemented on the demineralised water intake of the HySTAT to lower
the N2 content to less than 2 ppm of the H2 produced. This will allow a hydrogen purity of 99,999%.

Online Purity Measurement (OLP)


The H2 produced is continuously monitored in real-time on both water content (dew point) and the
oxygen content. This option can only be selected in combination with the HPS.

Blow off valve (only in combination with OLP)


This feature will automatically vent the H2 to atmosphere in case its quality is out of spec. This option
can only be selected in combination with the H2 Online Purity Measurement.

Oxygen Use
As standard the O2 is vented to the atmosphere. Hydrogenics can implement an optional system to
clean the O2 and make it available for further use/purification by the customer.

Air conditioning on control panel


It is modular air conditioning unit installed on the electrical panels. This feature is recommended for
systems frequently operating in ambient temperatures above +40C but lower than 45C.

Mass flow meter: The mass flow meter is a direct measurement of the volume of H2 flowing into the
user line.

Oxygen content in Atmosphere detector (OTA): An Oxygen transmitter in Atmosphere (OTA) can
be implemented in the Process Room to continuously monitor the level of O 2 in the Process Room
atmosphere. An alarm is generated when the oxygen level drops below or raises above the safe limits.

Back pressure regulator: Guarantees the performance of the unit by keeping the generator and the
deoxo dryer at a stable pressure. Variations in the user line will not have an influence on the pressure
in the process part (will be added to the unit if directly connected to a compressor).
Instrument air compressor: a compact but rugged instrument air compressor, installed in the
General purpose room, to eliminate the need of externally supplied instrument air.
Direct coupling to renewable energies: Hydrogenics can offer specific approaches in order to
directly connect the electrolyser to renewables (eg. Power controlled electrolyzer), providing an
efficient and performant system optimized for the application.

Automatic restart (PT-U): This feature allows the HySTAT to continuously detect the actual pressure
in the user line. If the unit is in standby mode, this allows the unit to be automatically restarted once the
user line pressure is below a preset threshold.

Automatic N2 purge: This allows the entire N2 purging sequence of the HySTAT and the HPS to be
performed automatically. Nitrogen purge is required before starting the unit when the internal pressure
is below 15kPa. The systems PLC will sequentially activate the different valves in the system, thus
ensuring that all air is evacuated prior to hydrogen production.
