With a series of guiding documents such as the Guiding Opinions on Promoting High-quality Development of Petrochemical and Chemical Industries in the 14th Five-Year Plan, it is pointed out that petrochemical and green hydrogen coupling demonstration cases should be promoted, and many industry leaders are stepping into the game to explore the development and utilization of green hydrogen. On the other hand, the green hydrogen process is faced with the current renewable energy uncertainty and chemical production safety and stability conflict problem, urgent need to achieve the long-term stability of the green “new path” through integrated, covering the whole life cycle of solutions.

“Achieving safe and efficient operations, access to new energy sources, cost reduction, risk reduction, flexibility and scale are all key benefits in the development of green hydrogen,” “Empowered by digital solutions, Schneider Electric will provide visibility into project investment decisions through an integrated digital twin solution for power and energy, reducing cost losses and minimizing carbon footprint through end-to-end, integrated engineering, and unlocking operational and environmental benefits of green hydrogen,” concludes Dagon Gong, Industrial Digital Solutions Manager at Schneider Electric.

To overcome the challenges posed by the hydrogen transition, whether in new energy generation, electrolytic hydrogen production or chemical production scenarios, engineering teams must fully embrace digital transformation to enable innovation, agility and collaboration. In the field of chemical and green hydrogen, Schneider Electric has a complete range of power distribution and automation solutions, including interconnecting low-medium frequency converters, low-medium voltage distribution products, distributed control system EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS, EcoStruxure Triconex safety instrumentation system, PLC, field instrumentation, etc. Using the Process + Power digital twin solution, which consists of AVEVA Process Simulation software and ETAP power system simulation software, engineers are able to integrate design data with real-time plant data, access and visualize the data through simulation models, and thus:

Quickly evaluate design concepts against project KPIs to accelerate process technology innovation and expansion;
Enable collaboration across departments and enterprises to reduce risk with a data-driven approach to engineering information;
Smooth operation and optimization of production capacity, profitability and carbon emission processes;
Empower your workforce for continuous decision support and operational excellence.
In addition, Schneider Electric digital solutions rely on multiple types and scenarios of digital software combined with process automation intelligent control and safety products, covering the whole process of green hydrogen coupled chemical industry, mining the data value: Including AVEVA E3D 3D design software, AVEVA Diagram & Engineering integrated process design and engineering platform, AVEVA ERM materials and construction management system, AVEVA UOC integrated Operations Center and AVEVA PI A series of interconnected digital solutions, including the System Big Data management platform, Foxboro DCS and Triconex SIS systems for smart energy and chemicals, enable companies to optimize plant performance through the design, production, construction, personnel training and operation phases on the basis of the digital twin.
