Helen, a Finnish company, is making strides in the renewable hydrogen market with the construction of the 3H2 Helsinki Hydrogen Hub, the first hydrogen production plant in Helsinki. This plant, aiming to produce hydrogen with renewable electricity for transportation and industrial use, is set to contribute to emissions reduction in sectors that are slow in embracing clean energy sources. Beyond its practical function, the 3 MW project serves as an educational tool for Helen to delve into hydrogen production technology, identify new business models, and prepare for larger-scale hydrogen production facilities in the future. To mitigate risks and streamline the commissioning process, Helen is leveraging virtual commissioning supported by Siemens' software. This approach allows for the creation of a digital simulation of the production process, facilitating in-depth testing of automation systems. By identifying and rectifying deficiencies in the virtual environment, delays and additional costs during the actual commissioning phase can be minimized. The ultimate goal is to seamlessly integrate the tested automation systems into Helen's production management, enabling automatic and flexible operation of the plant while optimizing hydrogen production based on market conditions. Furthermore, the establishment of a digital twin, through the integration of simulation and automation systems, offers Helen a competitive advantage in the evolving hydrogen markets. This digital twin allows for continuous analysis and development of operational activities without disrupting the plant's production. As the renewable hydrogen production sector faces new challenges due to the clean energy transition and increased renewable electricity production, Helen's investment in digital capabilities positions the company at the forefront of innovation and sustainability in the hydrogen industry.
