In 2023, relying on its own hydrogen energy resource advantages, cost advantages, and application scenario advantages, Tianhe Yuan Hydrogen actively implements the national "dual carbon" strategy, enhances its scientific and technological innovation capabilities, and promotes the transformation of technological achievements. Combining the industrial and economic advantages of the group, we will vigorously develop the hydrogen energy industry, assist in industry innovation and upgrading, and promote the green direction of enterprise hydrogen energy.
2024 has arrived, and at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, a new chapter is set to begin. Let's review the important keywords of Tianhe Yuanhydrogen in 2023 together.
Technological breakthroughs
Enterprise technological innovation is the most active component of a country's innovation system and the core element driving China's economy towards high-quality development. In this context, electrolytic cells, as the core equipment for green hydrogen production, are increasingly prominent, and the market is showing a trend of large-scale, rapid growth, and market share concentration towards leading enterprises.
In 2023, Tianhe Hydrogen will continue to drive technological innovation by releasing and applying the Tianqing Alkaline Electrolytic Water Hydrogen Production System Electrolytic Cell, with a single cell hydrogen production capacity of 1000Nm ³/ h. The energy consumption of Tianqing electrolytic cell meets the national standard of first level energy efficiency, with leading performance and a maximum gas production capacity of 2000Nm per cell ³/ H. Compared with traditional equipment of the same level, the current density of the electrolytic cell is increased by 50% to 75%, and the DC power consumption is reduced by 10% to 15%. It has the characteristics of high density and low energy consumption, which can achieve multi-dimensional energy integration and better meet the development needs of green electricity. This means that the localization of electrolysis tanks in the electrolysis water hydrogen production system is of great significance for promoting the rapid development of the domestic hydrogen production equipment industry.
Low carbon win-win situation
The 2023 government work report proposes to deepen the implementation of the innovation driven development strategy and consolidate the foundation of the real economy. In the wave of digitalization, it is crucial to drive the dual transformation of industrial digitization and low-carbon through innovation. The Green Intelligent Manufacturing Winning Plan will integrate the resources of the industrial ecosystem, allowing innovative digital technologies to truly take root in real industrial scenarios, promoting the transformation of innovative achievements, and accelerating high-quality and sustainable industrial development.
In the development process of Tianhe Yuanhydrogen, low-carbon win-win is not only a concept, but also a concrete manifestation of the company's practical actions. The South Glass project in the partnership, as a representative of strong alliances, injects new vitality and significance into the company's strategic planning. In the first half of this year, the "Tianqing" series of alkaline electrolysis water hydrogen production equipment and auxiliary systems were successfully operated at Yichang Nanbo Silicon Materials Co., Ltd. and achieved excellent measured data.
The South Glass project, as a part of the partnership, is a crucial step taken by Trina Solar in the low-carbon field. This has enabled Tianhe Yuanhydrogen to achieve a close connection between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. The strong alliance of the South Glass project not only brings economic benefits, but also contributes positively to the environmental protection cause. Through joint efforts, the two companies have reached a consensus on reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency, achieving organic integration of environmental protection concepts. As a representative case of low-carbon win-win, the South Glass project has not only achieved strong alliances in technology, but also achieved significant results in strategic planning and market development. This successful experience has provided valuable experience and inspiration for Trina Solar's low-carbon journey in the future, laying a solid foundation for the company to move towards a broader low-carbon win-win future.
Innovation leading
The hydrogen energy industry is a future industry with many challenges, such as tackling some "bottleneck" technologies and investing in industries that do not have commercial operations in the short term for development. But as long as the direction is correct and there is no fear of a long journey, Tianhe Yuanhydrogen will persevere and move forward bravely in 2023, innovating new hydrogen energy formats and new economy, and contributing to the high-quality development of China's new energy industry.
In 2023, by leveraging the dual attributes of green hydrogen energy and raw materials, Tianhe Yuan can transform the regional advantages of the new energy base into the advantages of industrial green development. At the same time, it has also achieved the transformation from the optimal cost of new energy development to the optimal cost of comprehensive utilization. It is a powerful weapon to solve the difficulties of the "sustainability, affordability, and reliability" triangle of energy sources. As the cost of photovoltaic power generation continues to decrease, it is necessary to further increase the annual production hours of hydrogen production systems and improve the compatibility between green hydrogen and renewable energy. He pointed out that due to the dynamic characteristics of new energy generation, it is difficult to directly match the load range of alkaline electrolysis tanks with the new energy range, leading to problems such as the contradiction of hydrogen production continuity. In response to this, Tianhe Yuanhydrogen proposed three major paths: "diversified energy storage in the source network load storage system, multi cell hybrid connection in the electrolysis hydrogen production small system, and optimization of the core materials in the electrolysis cell", to achieve high matching between green hydrogen and green electricity and reduce LCOH, and promote the market-oriented development of green hydrogen.
Among the three major paths, by building a diversified energy storage system, Trina Solar actively seeks the optimal solution to solve the energy "triangle difficulty". In order to improve the reliability of the system, large systems can ensure that equipment operates within a safe load range. In order to reduce the application cost of the system, Tianhe Yuan Hydrogen optimized the efficiency of the system and electrolytic cell monomers, achieving the optimal LCOH. In addition, hydrogen, as a hub connecting energy and industry, can enhance the consumption capacity of renewable energy and promote sustainable development. More importantly, hydrogen energy, as a potential long-term energy storage method, can achieve power storage that spans or even reaches quarters under large-scale hydrogen storage, providing strong support for ensuring the reliability of the large power grid.
Green milestone
Against the backdrop of accelerating the transformation of the energy industry and the construction of a new energy system, hydrogen energy, as an emerging business form, has attracted much attention in innovation and development in recent years. Hydrogen, as a clean, efficient, safe, and sustainable secondary energy source, has become an important direction for the new round of world energy transformation in its development and utilization.
On November 28, 2023, the construction of the Yangzhou production base with an investment of 700 million yuan began, entering a new stage of development. At the groundbreaking ceremony, Gao Haichun, Chairman of Tianhe Yuan Hydrogen, stated, "The hydrogen energy equipment project belongs to the national strategic emerging industry and also conforms to the development positioning of Yangzhou's" 613 "industry. With strong support from the Yangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government, the Tianhe Yuan Hydrogen Yangzhou project will fully carry out construction in December 2023, with the expected completion of the main workshop construction in March 2024 and full production from May to June 2024."
While helping to achieve innovative development in the hydrogen energy industry, this project will also promote the achievement of the low-carbon transformation goal of urban energy. This groundbreaking launch is a win-win measure for Tianhe Yuanhydrogen and Yangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone to jointly support the "dual carbon" strategy and promote integrated innovation and green development. It can not only contribute to the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry cluster, but also help Yangzhou build a smart, efficient, green, and low-carbon modern hydrogen energy.
