With Siemens' Aid, H2 Core Systems Builds Hydrogen Energy Solutions

Siemens reports that H2 Core Systems, a startup focused on modular hydrogen-based energy systems, is using the Siemens Xcelerator platform of software and automation portfolio to design and manufacture compact hydrogen energy systems that generate and store clean energy where needed.
 
H2 Core Systems is leveraging Siemens’ Designcenter X Solid Edge software as the backbone of its fully digital product development process, enabling it to design and visualize its products in 3D before physical production. Designcenter X Solid Edge, in combination with the cloud-based collaboration capabilities of Siemens’ Teamcenter Share app, allows the team to create marketing assets, technical documentation and aids communication of complex design concepts to customers and stakeholders.

H2 Core Systems uses Siemens’ automation hardware and software, including S7 1200 compact programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and TIA Portal to develop and implement the automation its complex products required. Founded in 2019 and based in Heide, Germany, H2 Core Systems develops, manufactures, and maintains modularly configurable production, storage and energy systems that combine electrolysis with storage, compression, fuel cells and everything around a hydrogen-based eco-system. Designed to be flexible, expandable and scalable, alongside on-grid use, its products are made for combination with photovoltaic or wind power systems in a decentralized, self-sufficient and green energy supply that can be used worldwide.

“In our role as an accelerator of the energy transition, we need to respond to individual requirements promptly and with modular, scalable energy systems,” says Ulf Jörgensen, chief executive officer, H2 Core Systems. “This acceleration is based on fully digitalized, dynamic and efficient collaboration between sales, engineering, production and documentation. Siemens Xcelerator enables this collaboration and significantly reduces our time-to-market.”
 
"Siemens Xcelerator, including Designcenter and Teamcenter, is built to help companies like H2 Core Systems design and collaborate more efficiently; by allowing them to visualize the complete product in 3D and collaborate seamlessly with stakeholders from anywhere, on any device, they can make informed design changes before production starts, saving time and money," says Joe Bohman, executive vice president, PLM Products, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "Siemens' technologies help them reduce complex steps and deliver sustainable energy systems quickly to communities that need them."
 
“By combining modular hydrogen energy systems with Siemens’ advanced software and automation hardware, we can continue to deliver sustainable energy solutions worldwide, quickly adapting to customer needs and scaling our impact,” says Thorsten Claussen, head of mechanical engineering, H2 Core Systems. “We use Designcenter X Solid Edge to fully digitize our dynamic product and production planning."
