The HyAI 2.0 project will involve integrating the system into EMEC’s hydrogen plant on the island of Eday. The project has received £494,000 funding from the Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy’s Energy Entrepreneur Fund.

H2GO Power’s cloud-based software platform HyAI uses machine learning and optimisation algorithms to make intelligent, data-driven decisions to ensure safety and reliability, and identify the most cost-effective times for hydrogen generation and storage.

The 12-month project will trial the software in two phases. The first phase involves running proof-of-value simulations with the AI software using data from commercial use cases provided by project partners EMEC and National Grid Gas Transmission.

The second phase will see the platform integrated into EMEC’s hydrogen production plant on Eday and tested as a fully integrated pilot.

HyAI aims to control hydrogen production in real time by combining historical and forecasted data on weather, renewable generation sources including wind and tidal, as well as hydrogen storage capacity and electricity prices.
