Hydrogen Production from Hydropower in Switzerland with PowerKraft Rectifiers

The first Hydrospider project, a 2-MW electrolysis plant in Gösgen

Project

The first Hydrospider project, a 2-MW electrolysis plant at the Gösgen hydropower plant in Switzerland, can produce up to 300 tons of hydrogen per year – supplied as fuel for Hyundai hydrogen trucks.

Challenges

Requirement for a sustainable and reliable power supply for green hydrogen production. Efficient integration with PEM electrolyzers for high-capacity output.

Hydrospider hydrogen production site in Switzerland powered by renewable energy and PowerKraft rectifier systems.

Solution

Installation of PowerKraft rectifiers delivering 260V/8x1300A.

Direct connection to hydropower for green electricity.

KraftPowercon has been providing a top-notch, highly professional service ever since the commissioning of the plant.
