Operations and safety concept for electrolysis test rig

Date: 2025
Contracting entity: Technical University of Munich (TUM)

Project description:

We took over the control software (existing system in a laboratory environment) for an electrolysis test rig and continued programming according to the specifications and planning status. In doing so, we implemented the start, operating, and shutdown behavior, including standard alarms and emergency stops. The system is operated and monitored via PRISMA, and individual units can be controlled by hand. Interdependencies between pumps, blowers, heaters, and rectifiers ensure safe operation. The system is used to record measurement series for electrolysis via a catalyst.
