Case Study: Mintal Hydrogen Energy Technology achieves digital continuity for green hydrogen projects with ETAP

Mintal advances 1.4-GW green hydrogen project with ETAP

Mintal Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. faced the challenge of planning a first-of-its-kind, $1.2 billion green hydrogen and ammonia production facility in China. The project's complexity, integrating a wind farm, battery storage, and chemical processes, required a solution to optimize sizing, ensure reliability, and verify the design for the best economic return. Mintal turned to vendor ETAP to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study using an electrical digital twin.

ETAP implemented a solution using its Power Simulator to create a unified digital twin of the entire power system, which was integrated with process modeling software. This provided digital continuity from the initial design phase through to future real-time operations. The solution enabled Mintal to accurately size renewable power and storage to reduce costs, ensure resiliency, and verify the integrated power and process design. ETAP's approach prepared the project for future AI-enabled operations and helped build a long-term relationship of trust with the customer.
