Yokogawa to supply energy management system for green hydrogen project in Australia

Global Hydrogen Review,
The Yuri project is being undertaken in the Pilbara region of Western Australia by Yuri Operations Pty Ltd, a joint venture (JV) between ENGIE Renewables Australia Pty Ltd and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. A consortium consisting of the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) companies, Technip Energies and Monford Group Pty Ltd. is constructing these facilities, which will consist of an 18 MW solar power plant, an 8 MW battery energy storage system and a 10 MW electrolyser. Using carbon-free solar energy, the facility will be able to produce up to 640 tpy of green hydrogen. The hydrogen will be used as a feedstock to produce green ammonia at an adjacent ammonia plant operated by Yara Pilbara Fertiliser Pty Ltd (YPF).
For the control of the solar power plant, BESS, and electrolyser, Yokogawa Australia will supply an EMS that is developed by Yokogawa Group company, PXiSE Energy Solutions LLC. This EMS will be combined with an integrated control system (ICS) centering on the collaborative information server solution that Yokogawa will also be providing for phase 0 of this project, under a separate contract. Once these systems are installed and integrated, the Yuri facility’s renewable energy production will be autonomously managed to ensure consistent stability and power quality based on the operating requirements of the adjacent ammonia plant, the weather, and other factors.
Koji Nakaoka, a Senior Vice President and Head of Yokogawa's Energy & Sustainability Business Headquarters and Global Sales Headquarters, said: “In a world in which systems are becoming closely integrated, based on the system of systems (SoS) concept, we will contribute to our customer’s ESG management by offering high value-added solutions, including the integration of plant control and energy management systems to enable the timely control of complex power systems.”
