Innomotics reported Jan. 16 that the U.S. Dept. of Energy has ordered three PR150 rectifier power supply systems and controls for the electrolyzer testing facility for green-hydrogen electrolyzers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colo.
Innomotics tailored the PR150s for green hydrogen production. They’re suitable for low- and medium-voltage applications, and designed to power hydrogen electrolyzers with a 5 to 16 MW power range.
The three units will be produced in Nuremberg and delivered to the U.S. in a 40-foot, packaged control room. They’ll be joined by the balance of the rectifier control and circuit protection equipment. The complete system will be installed at NREL’s Flatirons campus with a planned startup in 2Q26.
“This project is an opportunity to collaborate with a marquee research and development entity that’s working with industry to accelerate and scale aggressive decarbonization goals for hard-to-abate markets,” says Doug Keith, CEO of Innomotics Americas. “Applying Innomotics rectifiers in the green-hydrogen sector is an important step forward in developing this market.”
