Hydrogen Engine Generator Set Ready for In-house Evaluation

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, May 29, 2024

As the next step toward commercialization, construction of a 6-cylinder hydrogen engine generator set(Note1) of 500kW-class output and of a hydrogen supply facility for supplying high-pressure hydrogen gas delivered on trailers to the generator set under reduced pressure has been completed.

Key Points: 
  • As the next step toward commercialization, construction of a 6-cylinder hydrogen engine generator set(Note1) of 500kW-class output and of a hydrogen supply facility for supplying high-pressure hydrogen gas delivered on trailers to the generator set under reduced pressure has been completed.
  • As a part of this series of tests, a thorough evaluation of the newly-developed hydrogen engine will take place, including combustion stability, performance, and reliability.
  • Considering the characteristics of hydrogen(Note2), an evaluation of the safety and other performance required for a generator set will also be conducted.
  • Furthermore, because the molecules are small and leaky, hydrogen engine generator sets require strict safety measures such as redundant leak prevention, leak detection, a safe stop of the integral system, and ventilation to avoid gas accumulation.Previous Releases of MHIET's Hydrogen Engine Development1.
