The acceleration of hydrogen production is crucial for achieving sustainability targets in the industrial sector, and technology company Siemens is taking a significant step forward by supporting companies in the hydrogen industry with software tools based on generative artificial intelligence. The innovative solutions aim to simplify the design, engineering, and automation of hydrogen production plants, enabling a quicker scale-up of hydrogen production.
The new Hydrogen Plant Configurator, an intelligent chatbot, enables users to create plant designs for hydrogen production, predicting plant-specific key figures such as power consumption, heat generation, and a comprehensive list of components. Additionally, Siemens is launching an AI-based tool, Comos AI, for the project planning phase of hydrogen plants, and an innovative module, SFC Generation, for the Simatic PCS neo distributed control system. These advancements will significantly simplify the design, engineering, and automation of hydrogen production plants, laying the foundation for efficient production.
The use of generative artificial intelligence will save considerable time and costs in the crucial phases of hydrogen production. As Axel Lorenz, CEO Process Automation at Siemens, puts it, “Green hydrogen is crucial for the decarbonization of industry… Generative artificial intelligence can provide support in the crucial phases of hydrogen production to save considerable time and costs.”
