Recently, Schneider Electric, a digital transformation expert in the field of global energy management and automation, officially signed a cooperation agreement with Shuimu Mingtuo (Damao) Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Shuimu Mingtuo”). Schneider Electric will become the first digital solution provider in the industry to achieve power and process linkage, Collaborating with Shuimu Mingtuo to create a full process optimization business from green electricity to green hydrogen and then to green ammonia – the Electric Hydrogen Ammonia Dynamic Joint Simulation Project, to help accelerate China’s green energy transformation. Xiong Yi, Senior Vice President of Schneider Electric, Head of Strategy and Business Development in China, and Dean of Business Value Research Institute, as well as Fu Xiaolong, Vice President of Tsinghua Industrial Development Research Institute and General Manager of Shuimu Mingtuo in Beijing, signed an agreement on site on behalf of both parties. Frederic Godemel, Global Executive Vice President of Schneider Electric Systems and Services, Senior Vice President of Schneider Electric Xu Shaofeng, the person in charge of medium voltage and service business in China, attended the event and witnessed the signing of the contract.
With the deepening of the “dual carbon” goal, various fields are actively exploring the next generation of green energy technologies. As the “ultimate clean energy” of the 21st century, the development of green hydrogen has ushered in a trillion level trend. There is a close production and application relationship between green electricity and green hydrogen, so hydrogen, especially green hydrogen technology, is gradually entering the global decarbonization concept. However, the development of green electricity to produce green hydrogen and then convert it into synthetic ammonia faces multiple challenges such as the volatility of green electricity, the economy, safety, and reliability of green hydrogen. It is urgent to break through technological barriers through innovation and provide strong support for “zero carbon” development.
Fu Xiaolong, Vice President of Tsinghua Industrial Development Research Institute and General Manager of Shuimu Mingtuo, said, “The era of a new industrial system centered on new energy is coming soon.”. The deep application of new energy and its hydrogen carriers in industrial systems can effectively solve the problems of efficient utilization of new energy and decarbonization of heavy industrial systems. However, its development also faces global technological challenges such as energy supply fluctuations and dynamic load changes brought by new energy to industrial systems. At present, the joint dynamic operation of new energy electricity and chemical industry under fluctuating conditions is still a gap in the industry. In this context, Shuimu Mingtuo has chosen to cooperate with Schneider Electric to create an electric hydrogen ammonia dynamic joint simulation project. We believe that Schneider Electric’s strong digital solution capabilities for power and process linkage can support us to overcome technological difficulties and jointly explore feasible solutions for global climate issues

According to the agreement between both parties, Schneider Electric will leverage its rich experience in digital transformation in energy management and automation, and through joint simulation engineering research of ETAP electrical system digital twin platform and AVEVA process simulation software, as well as analysis services of engineering and technical experts for working conditions, achieve the linkage of power and process flow, and assist Shuimu Mingtuo in planning energy storage (energy storage+hydrogen storage) Reasonable system configuration and control strategies are implemented to improve the safety, stability, and economy of the system, ultimately achieving green and sustainable development. In addition, Schneider Electric will leverage its operational network resources in over 130 countries worldwide, advanced energy efficiency management technology, mature power and automation solutions, and collaborate with Shuimu Mingtuo’s technology application capabilities and Mingtuo Hydrogen Group’s hydrogen business capabilities to deepen cooperation in project development and overseas investment business, jointly promoting the continuous development of China and even the global green hydrogen industry.
Frederic Godemel, Global Executive Vice President of Schneider Electric’s Systems and Services Business, said, “In the context of accelerating global energy transformation and China’s’ dual carbon ‘goals, the development and application of green hydrogen technology is of great strategic significance. As a digital transformation expert in the global energy and power field, Schneider Electric has continuously launched green innovative products and overall solutions for many years, promoting global energy transformation.”. This collaboration project is Schneider Electric’s world’s first full process optimization business from green electricity to green hydrogen and then to green ammonia. This heavyweight project has landed first in China, not only demonstrating the huge potential of China’s renewable energy industry, but also recognizing Schneider Electric’s cutting-edge exploration capabilities. In the future, we look forward to working together with industry leaders including Shuimu Mingtuo to explore more fields and provide stronger green momentum for low-carbon development in China and the world
