SiC based rectifier - Hydra 2.0
6MW SiC-based rectifier, scalable up to 24MW
Hydra is the next generation of rectifiers for electrolyzers, based on a SiC MOSFET topology. Compared to traditional IGBT or thyristor rectifiers, it delivers higher efficiency across the entire load range, fast response times, a smaller footprint due to lower losses and fewer compensation components, and superior grid and stack compatibility.
-
Lowest cost of hydrogen
Because of the SiC (silicon carbide) MOSFET transistors higher switching frequencies can be used resulting in lower power losses
-
Lowest THDi
THDi < 1% results in grid stability without the need for additional STATCOMS or external filters
-
Power factor > 0.99
Lower line losses, less reactive power compensation needed
-
Scalable up to 24 MW
Less switchgear and transformers needed
-
Smallest footprint
Low commisioning and transport costs
-
Noise level < 70dB
System can also be used in comunities, no soundproofing needed
Benefits
-
Lowest cost of hydrogen
Euro efficiency of 98.6% because of the SiC technology
-
No need for special transformers
SiC technolgy does not need pulse transformers, nor tapchangers because the output can be controlled between 0-1500VDC
-
Low commisioning cost
High powerdensity means less commisioning and lower transport costs
-
No need for statcoms and filter installations
Because of the high Power Factor and the low THDi there is no need for additional grid stabilisation
