15 MW Turnkey PEM Electrolyser System for 3000 Nm3/h

Note: This is the plant layout for a 90 bar electrolyser system with compressors

Hydrogenics and Enbridge are developing the first Power-to-Gas

project in North America to provide grid services to the IESO

P2G Project Highlights Key Objectives

• 2MW capacity

• Ancillary Service Provider to

IESO under commercial contract

• Hydrogenics next generation

PEM MW-scale electrolyser

• Located in Greater Toronto Area

• Commissioned Spring 2017

• In collaboration with the

Canadian Gas Association

• Shared objective with IESO to

assess the capabilities of a

Power-to-Gas energy storage

facility for providing grid

services—learning pilot

• Develop 5MW Module

Architecture

• First Power-to-Gas reference

site in North America

Hydrogenics’ Demonstration of Electrolyser

in IESO Distributed Loads for Regulation Study

The real time dynamic response of an electrolyser makes it ideally

suited for providing a ISO regulation and balancing services

Note: Ontario IESO signal test completed June 2011

Faster response

than AGC Signal
