Testing at Scale
Joint Development
The Center for Clean Hydrogen invites partners for collaborative research projects to support the R&D of new technologies and processes. Leveraging the expertise of our dedicated team of researchers, scientists, and engineers, we offer comprehensive technical consulting and testing services. Our aim is to assist customers in gaining a deeper understanding of electrolyzer systems, identifying critical development needs, and overcoming challenges encountered in the development process.
Testing Services
The Center for Clean Hydrogen offers at-scale testing capabilities to industrial companies and academic entities to fast track their development of new hydrogen technologies. The pay-as-you-go testing service provided by CCH saves the capital investment, lead time, and facility space for the customers to access the testing equipment at all scales.
The CCH has the testing capabilities for both electrolyzer stack testing and the individual component evaluation with the research-grade stack developed by CCH. This cost-saving service supports innovation and adds business value by:
- Evaluating and stress-test the electrolyzer stack at full size up to 1 MW
- Collecting the key operation data such as efficiency and gas crossover at various operation conditions.
- Validating the individual component performance and durability by incorporating it in the research-grade stack
- Elucidating the detailed performance and degradation mechanism with the advanced characterization capabilities at the University of Delaware
