Enapter AG has developed an innovative AI software designed to enhance the performance of its AEM electrolyzers. This cutting-edge technology uses Artificial Intelligence to analyze data from sensors installed in the electrolyzers, which monitor key metrics such as temperature, pressure, and power consumption at various points. The AI then controls the devices in real-time, intervening when necessary to optimize energy flow and increase device efficiency. The AI models are transmitted “over the air” to the electrolyzers, automatically fine-tuning the performance of each device. Additionally, multiple sensors on each stack monitor wear and tear, allowing the system to predict the optimal maintenance schedule based on comparisons with similar devices and site conditions. This predictive approach helps prevent costly breakdowns and extends the lifespan of each connected device.
By integrating data from connected energy sources like PV systems and wind power, as well as additional components such as batteries, the overall energy management of the system is enhanced. The AI can predict fluctuations in the availability of these renewable energy sources, enabling adjustments to the electrolyzers’ operation, which ultimately improves sustainability and reduces costs. The first version of the AI software will be available to both existing and new Enapter customers starting on April 17, 2025.
The AI software is based on Enapter’s self-developed Energy Management System (EMS), which has been collecting real-world data over the past six years from 2.7 million operating hours across thousands of Enapter electrolysers worldwide. These devices, deployed in nearly all climate zones, have provided valuable data for various applications.
At the Hannover Messe from March 31 to April 4, 2025, Enapter will showcase a pre-release of the AI software at several partner booths:
- H2Core Systems (Stand D07)
- JA-Gastechnology (Stand C09)
- Fuel Cell Systems (Stand D11/1)
- Hephas Energy (Stand B20/1)
- Cosber Hydrogen (Stand C22)
Dr. Jürgen Laakmann, CEO of Enapter AG, commented, “Thanks to the unique networking of thousands of devices, all Enapter units are continuously learning from each other. Our AI unlocks numerous opportunities to further improve the electrolyzers and makes these results available to all our customers in real-time. This creates a self-improving swarm intelligence that recognizes patterns, drives innovation, and reduces hydrogen production costs for every Enapter user.”
