[SMM Hydrogen Energy News: World's First 5 MW AEM Hydrogen Production System Commissioned, Intelli Provides Core Rectification Equipment] Recently, the world's first 5 MW anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis hydrogen production system completed installation and commenced commissioning, marking the official entry of megawatt-scale AEM technology into the industrial application stage.

The project innovatively established an integrated "PV—AEM hydrogen production—blast furnace hydrogen-rich smelting" system. The green hydrogen produced will be used for hydrogen-rich injection in the steel group's blast furnaces, facilitating coal reduction and carbon reduction goals. The core rectification equipment for the system was provided by Hubei Intelli Electric, configured with 5 sets of IGBT rectifier power supplies, featuring advantages such as high power factor, low harmonics, and fast response. It can precisely match large power AEM electrolysis cells, providing reliable power supply assurance for stable system operation.
