Publication number: 20250062636Abstract: A controller, process, and apparatus can be configured to provide backup electrical power to various equipment used in hydrogen and/or ammonia production in response to a loss of power condition being detected. The loss of power can be due to unavailable power from renewable sources (e.g. cloudy day, non-windy conditions) or due to other power transmission problems. The backup electrical power can be provided in a way that can reduce the carbon intensity associated with the providing of the backup power. The backup power can also be provided to help avoid degradation of equipment that can occur from sudden losses of electrical power. In some embodiments, hydrogen powered turbines, hydrogen fuel cells, biofuel generators, and/or hydrogen powered engines can be utilized for providing the backup power.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2024Publication date: February 20, 2025Applicant: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Frieder Endrejat, Samuel Jonathan Wheeler, David Hughes
