Let’s give praise and support to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment; your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement. **********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Engineering Equipment】A continuously updated summary post is available – feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html ***************** On July 29th, the world’s first 30MW-class pure hydrogen gas turbine, “Jupiter-1”, developed by MingYang Hydrogen & Fuel, a subsidiary of MingYang Smart Energy, was successfully shipped from Wuxi, Jiangsu, to Ejin Horo Banner in Inner Mongolia. It will be used in the hydrogen storage demonstration project powered by a 30MW-class pure hydrogen gas turbine, as part of Shenzhen Energy Group’s integrated wind and solar hydrogen production project for green ammonia production. This marks a milestone achievement for China in the field of pure hydrogen-powered gas turbines. Pure hydrogen gas turbines are high-end power equipment in the energy sector, and they play a key role in enabling the conversion of hydrogen into electricity. They feature zero carbon emissions, low investment per kilowatt, rapid start-up and shutdown, a wide range of regulation time scales, a broad range of adjustable power levels, the ability to provide deep reactive power compensation, no location constraints, and short construction times. In June this year, the **Energy Bureau issued the ‘Notice on Organizing Pilot Projects for Hydrogen in the Energy Sector’, proposing to carry out pilot projects for power generation using gas turbines with hydrogen/ammonia/pure hydrogen. “The 30MW-class pure hydrogen gas turbine \"Jupiter-1\" has had its combustion chamber components developed, the entire unit ignited, and full-speed no-load tests conducted in Wuxi; it is currently the largest pure hydrogen gas turbine unit in the world. With the official delivery of \"Jupiter-1\" and its imminent entry into the demonstration phase, it marks a significant breakthrough in China’s field of gas turbine-based hydrogen power generation. This development is of great importance for addressing the issue of wasted renewable energy in China and for helping to build a new type of power system.
The hydrogen storage demonstration project for 0MW-class pure hydrogen gas turbines involves a hydrogen production capacity of 48,000 Nm³/h; 12 spherical tanks with a capacity of 1,875 m³ each are used for hydrogen storage. The power supply for this system comes from a 500MW wind power project, while the downstream chemical processing unit is capable of producing 150,000 tons of synthetic ammonia per year. Additionally, a set of 30MW-class pure hydrogen gas turbines is installed for hydrogen storage purposes. Through the \"electricity-hydrogen-electricity\" scenario and model, it achieves coordination across the hydrogen production, storage, and hydrogen-fired power generation value chain, supporting a higher penetration rate of renewable energy as well as the storage and regulation of electricity over different time scales, thereby providing a model and support for large-scale hydrogen applications. The hydrogen energy storage demonstration project for 30MW-class pure hydrogen gas turbines is expected to start construction in August, with the goal of establishing the world’s largest-scale test facility for pure hydrogen gas turbines by the end of 2025. The successful launch of \"Jupiter-1\" represents a significant breakthrough for MingYang Smart in the field of hydrogen energy, and it is also a clear indication of the new forms of productivity in China’s energy equipment manufacturing industry. Looking to the future, MingYang Smart Energy will accelerate its strategic development in the areas of wind, solar, storage, hydrogen, and combustion technologies, thereby injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of the new energy sector and contributing more to the global energy transition.
