Condition Monitoring for Electrolysis Stacks
)
Bipolar plates are the heart of electrolysers – and a single faulty plate can reduce the efficiency of an entire stack. To prevent this, Weidmüller has developed solutions for single cell monitoring, enabling reliable, safe, and cost-effective measurement even in hazardous areas. This ensures early detection of ageing processes and helps operators maintain stack performance over its entire service life.
Electrolysers are used in a wide range of applications, from cement plants and offshore wind farms to decentralised container systems. Weidmüller provides the complete chain from safe stack connections and signal processing to data communication and analysis. Ex-approved components, modular connectors and cloud-enabled systems allow seamless integration, easy maintenance, and remote access for diagnostics and service.
In addition to voltage monitoring, Weidmüller’s condition monitoring system captures parameters such as power consumption, temperature, pressure, and flow. With Ex-approved I/O stations, fieldbus connectivity, and cloud integration, operators and manufacturers can access systems remotely for diagnostics, service, and support.
Together with in-house electronics production and accredited laboratories, the company offers a complete solution – from stack connection to data analysis – that meets international standards such as ATEX and UL.
