Hydrogen

Power Electronics for a Sustainable Hydrogen Economy

Hydrogen is a cornerstone of the global energy transition. At AEP Hybrid Power, we enable the production, storage, and utilization of hydrogen through advanced power electronics and converter solutions. Our technology ensures reliable, efficient, and safe energy conversion – the key to unlocking the full potential of hydrogen in industrial, mobility, and grid applications.

 

Our Role in the Hydrogen Value Chain

Hydrogen Production

Electrolyzers require precisely controlled DC power to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. AEP converters efficiently transform AC grid or renewable energy into the correct DC voltage and current levels, ensuring maximum performance and lifetime of the electrolyzer system.

Benefit for customers: Higher efficiency, optimized hydrogen generation, and seamless integration with renewable sources such as solar and wind.

Hydrogen Utilization

Fuel cells generate DC power, but most applications – from vehicles to industrial plants – require regulated and often AC-compatible electricity. Our converters manage this process:

  • DC/DC converters stabilize energy flow between fuel cells, batteries, and propulsion systems.

  • DC/AC converters return power to the grid or supply critical infrastructure.

  • Energy management control ensures stable performance, even in dynamic load environments.

Benefit for customers: Reliable operation of fuel cell systems, optimized energy flows, and compatibility with grid and storage requirements.

  1. What role do converters play in hydrogen systems? 
    Converters connect the electrical infrastructure with hydrogen technology, performing DC/DC conversion between fuel cells, batteries, and DC buses, AC/DC or DC/AC coupling to the grid, and voltage/current/power regulation for stable operation. 

  2. How is a hydrogen-specific converter different from a traditional power converter? 
    Hydrogen converters are optimized for high efficiency and long fuel cell lifetime, and are easily integrated with various energy sources. 

  3. Do AEP Hybrid Power converters support both fuel cell and electrolyzer applications? 
    Yes. Fuel cell applications require stable DC output, grid integration, and battery management, while electrolyzers need regulated current supply, high efficiency, and dynamic power handling. 

  4. Are hydrogen converters modular and scalable for different power levels? 
    Yes. Systems can be scaled from a few kWs to multiple MWs for mobile, industrial, or large energy hub applications. 

  5. How do AEP Hybrid Power converters ensure efficiency and reliability in hydrogen applications? 
    By using SiC technology (>97% efficiency), optimized thermal design, modular redundancy, and advanced control algorithms for dynamic conditions. 

  6. What safety features are integrated into hydrogen converters? 
    Galvanic isolation, overvoltage protection, active monitoring of voltage, current, temperature, fail-safe redundancy, and compliance with international standards (IEC, UL, ISO, DNV-GL). 

  7. Can hydrogen converters connect to both AC and DC grids? 
    Yes. They support AC grid integration with AFE and DC grid connection to microgrids or DC buses, including bidirectional functionality. 

  8. How is performance monitored and maintained in hydrogen systems? 
    Through remote monitoring, preventive maintenance, diagnostics, firmware updates, and modular design for easy component replacement. 
  9. Can AEP Hybrid Power provide custom solutions for mobile or maritime hydrogen applications? 
    Yes. Custom solutions are tailored to application and environment, including mechanical design, cooling, electrical specifications, and certifications.

  10. What after-sales and support options are available globally for hydrogen systems? 
    Remote support, firmware updates, operator training, service contracts with 24/7 support, and SLA agreements.
