Learn more about Flownex:
Flownex is the software of choice for the design, analysis, and optimization of hydrogen technology. From water electrolysis to transient evaluations of fuel cells, Flownex speeds up the design process and decreases the development cost.
With pressure on industries to move to zero emissions, a strong focus has been put on the research and development of hydrogen applications for decarbonization. The European Union and others want to get to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. One way of doing this is to implement technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity. Green Hydrogen, where renewable energy is used to generate hydrogen from water using a process called electrolysis, is one of the main sources of carbon-free energy currently being researched. Both are easily modeled in Flownex, as is the rest of the systems used for hydrogen production, storage, and utilization as power.
Flownex is used in the development and analysis of fuel cell systems in industry and academia. Flownex allows for fast transients and the evaluation of system performance with several advantages in simulating fuel cells compared when compared to other conventional simulation software.
Some of those advantages are:
Proper water management systems must be implemented in the proton-exchange membrane fuel cell to ensure optimal performance. This results in several components being added to the air side of the fuel cell, increasing the complexities. Flownex can be used in the design and development process of these complex systems.
Flownex is utilized for:
The main loop and auxiliaries of a water electrolysis plant are a sensitive integrated system. The plant needs to be precisely controlled as the main driving force is the chemical process of water electrolysis. Also, high temperatures and high pressures further enhance the process but lead to the requirements of increased optimization in the operation of the plant. Flownex can be used for:
“Using the Flownex scripting in conjunction with its thermo-fluid modeling capabilities made it a very valuable application for the problem at hand. In addition, Flownex has an intuitive design facilitating the modeling of large, complex systems.”
