𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀: 𝗛𝟮-𝗦𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 We officially kicked off the #research project H2-SMORE (H2-Stacktest at Megawatt Scale for Offshore Electrolysis) at our Hydrogen Lab Leuna. Together with our project partner Schaeffler and associated partner ABO Energy, we started the collaboration by aligning on the first work packages, project milestones and the implementation timeline. Within H2-SMORE, a K1000 G2 #PEM electrolysis stack supplied by Schaeffler will be integrated into the stack test infrastructure at Hydrogen Lab Leuna. The test bench enables dynamic testing of PEM stacks up to 2 MW electrical power. A major focus of the project is the investigation of stack and system behavior under operating profiles derived from #offshore and onshore wind power generation. By combining megawatt-scale stack testing with realistic renewable load profiles, the project aims to generate application-relevant operational data for future offshore hydrogen production systems and to further establish reliable and reproducible large-scale testing methodologies for water electrolysis technologies. The project is coordinated by Fraunhofer IWES and is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.
