INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Green hydrogen plants face unique challenges—from managing power intermittency to reducing operational costs and complying with global emissions standards. Honeywell ProtoniumUnified Control & Optimizer (UCO) is a plant-wide control and optimization solution designed to address these complexities and help producers minimize the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH), extend electrolyzer life, and streamline plant operations.
Intelligence Driven Optimization
Powered by AI and machine learning, UCO orchestrates the entire hydrogen production value chain—making smart, predictive deci-sions that optimize power usage, reduce downtime, and extend asset life.
Run-Time Scheduling & Load Management
Look-ahead scheduling minimizes electro-lyzer ramp-downs by planning operations around power availability. Dynamic load bal-ancing adapts electrolyzer usage to chang-ing grid or renewable energy inputs.
Electrolyzer Health
Machine learning algorithms monitor elec-trolyzer performance to enable predictive maintenance and reduce unplanned shut-downs.
Carbon Intensity Tracking
Automatically track and manage emissions to comply with RED III and IRA 45V stand-ards and qualify for carbon credits.
