Project description
🚀 About the Project
The project “H2-Hybrid Station” is aimed at creating an accessible and reliable autonomous power unit of a new generation. We combine proven water electrolysis technologies, safe hydrogen storage systems, and highly efficient fuel cells to provide stable electricity to facilities located far from central grids, as well as to smooth out peak loads in local energy systems.
🌱 Key advantage: Unlike traditional generators, our unit does not produce harmful emissions, is silent, and can operate in a fully autonomous mode, using only water and renewable or cheap electricity (for example, from solar panels or wind turbines) as raw material.
💡 Technological Challenge and Innovations
💰 Reducing the cost of hydrogen: The main task is to use advanced but inexpensive materials for electrolyzers (for example, new catalysts without platinum) and to increase the overall efficiency of the process. We plan to achieve a cost of produced hydrogen below $3 per kg.
⚙️ System Integration: Develop an intelligent control system (SCADA) that will optimize the operation of all components (electrolyzer, storage unit, generator) based on current energy consumption and electricity availability.
📡 Digital Control: Create a reliable automation and remote monitoring system for the safe and uninterrupted operation of the installation, including peak load forecasting and fault diagnostics.
🧩 Modularity: The installation will have a modular design with a power output of from 5 to 100 kW, allowing it to be scaled to any needs — from an individual house to a small production workshop.
📈 Market Potential and Economics
The global hydrogen energy market is growing rapidly. Our technology is aimed at the distributed energy segment, which is experiencing enormous demand due to economy decarbonization and the rising cost of traditional fuels. Investments in prototype development will be recouped within 3–5 years through:
✅ Sales of finished installations to legal and natural persons.
✅ Provision of the “Energy as a Service” service (installation and maintenance for a subscription fee).
✅ Sales of surplus hydrogen as a commercial product.

Freelance tasks
Propose several configuration options (e.g., with different types of electrolyzers: alkaline, PEM, AEM) and compare them in terms of cost and efficiency. Specific capital costs for electrolyzers can vary significantly depending on the technology.

The calculations should take into account that electricity costs account for 50–80% of the hydrogen production cost.
