Industry-Academia-Research-Quality Inspection Deeply Linked! Trina Green Hydrogen Forges a Strategic Partnership with the Fifth Electronics Research Institute of MIIT (Nanjing)

Published: Jun 10, 2026 16:15

On June 9, 2026, during the 19th International Solar Photovoltaic, Smart Energy, Energy Storage, and Battery Technology and Equipment Conference and Exhibition (SNEC PV+), new progress was made in hydrogen energy industry innovation and cooperation. Trina Green Hydrogen, a council member of the Hydrogen Energy Branch, joined the Trina Group at this industry event to showcase its self-developed integrated green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol solution and core hydrogen production equipment, fully demonstrating its capabilities in R&D and delivery of system solutions covering PV, energy storage, and hydrogen integration. During the exhibition, Trina Green Hydrogen formally signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement with the Nanjing Institute of the Fifth Electronics Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (Nanjing Saibao Industrial Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd.). Leveraging their respective resource strengths, the two parties will deepen their engagement in the PV-storage-hydrogen industry and support its standardized and high-quality development.

Since launching its Tianqing series of alkaline hydrogen production equipment in 2022, Trina Green Hydrogen had continuously advanced the technological iteration and performance optimization of ALK alkaline electrolyzers. Building on the low energy consumption advantages of the first-generation equipment, the second-generation Tianqing series completed comprehensive upgrades across five dimensions: R&D, testing, production, quality inspection, and after-sales service. By improving the internal structure of the cell stack, strictly controlling raw material quality, establishing an intelligent quality inspection system, and refining full-process after-sales service mechanisms, a standardized and normalized product delivery system was built. Through verified commercial project deployments in multiple scenarios, the company’s full-chain service capabilities—covering pre-project consulting, customized product design, production process control, factory performance testing, and on-site construction and delivery—have been widely recognized by clients in and outside China.

To address operational pain points in current large-scale green hydrogen projects, the industry has faced technical challenges such as excessive oxygen content in hydrogen when electrolyzers operate at low loads and rising energy consumption caused by equipment performance degradation. At the exhibition, Ba Haitao, Senior Engineer of Trina Green Hydrogen’s solutions team, provided a detailed explanation of the core design philosophy behind the second-generation Tianqing series alkaline electrolyzers. By optimizing the internal flow channel structure, selecting high-performance raw materials, and combining simulation modeling with on-site testing validation, the products tackled the root causes of electrolyzer performance issues, effectively resolving common industry technical weaknesses. Meanwhile, the company’s self-built empirical testing platform not only met factory-standard product inspection requirements but also simulated fluctuating wind and solar power conditions to precisely verify electrolyzer adaptability to renewable energy generation. It also connected upstream and downstream enterprises across the industry chain, design institutes, and research institutions to jointly tackle core R&D topics in the green hydrogen sector.

At the signing ceremony for this strategic cooperation, Dr. Bian Tiezheng, Head of Trina Green Hydrogen’s PV-Storage-Hydrogen Solutions, and Lyu Hongqiang, Head of Strategy & Marketing, joined Yan Shitan, Director of the Nanjing Saibao Technology Center, and Sheng Wei, Deputy Director of the Science, Technology and Quality Department, to complete the signing, officially launching in-depth collaborative cooperation between the two parties.

It was introduced that Trina Green Hydrogen, as a specialized R&D and manufacturing enterprise for water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment and a PV-storage-hydrogen system solution provider, had built its own integrated PV+ESS+hydrogen empirical testing center, which enabled comprehensive operational testing and technical research on alkaline electrolyzers, complete hydrogen production systems, off-grid PV hydrogen production equipment, and system operation under fluctuating new energy conditions, backed by robust hardware testing infrastructure. Its partner, Nanjing Saibao Industrial Technology Research Institute, leveraging the China Saibao Laboratory platform, possessed deep technical expertise in product reliability assessment, environmental adaptability testing, professional testing and certification, industry standard development, and quality-related technical services, offering full-chain, specialized technical service capabilities.

Based on the core needs of high-quality industry development, the two parties identified five key cooperation directions, covering the joint construction of an integrated PV-storage-hydrogen testing platform, collaborative R&D on cutting-edge technologies, product testing and evaluation, industry standard formulation, and full-chain industrial technical services. This cooperation adopted a “leading industry player + authoritative research and testing institution” model, combining complementary strengths to precisely fill the gap in testing and verification for China’s PV-storage-hydrogen equipment, thereby laying a solid foundation for the standardized R&D, large-scale deployment, and international promotion of green hydrogen equipment.

The implementation of this strategic cooperation created a new benchmark for industry-university-research-inspection collaboration in China’s PV-storage-hydrogen sector. Going forward, the two parties will take the joint construction of the integrated testing platform as the core focus, continuously delivering standardized testing results and cutting-edge technological outcomes. This will help Trina Green Hydrogen accelerate the iterative upgrading of new products and the efficient delivery of global projects, while empowering technological innovation and quality improvement across the entire industry chain. It will further enhance China’s integrated PV-storage-hydrogen industry standard system, consolidate the technological and quality foundation for standardized and globalized industry development, and continue to inject hydrogen momentum into the implementation of the national dual carbon strategy.
