Yokogawa to Supply Energy Management System for Yuri Green Hydrogen Project in Australia

Yokogawa Electric Corporation's Australian subsidiary, Yokogawa Australia, has secured an order from Monford Group Pty Ltd. to provide an Energy Management System (EMS) for the first phase (Phase 0) of the Yuri Green Hydrogen Project. This project, located in Western Australia's Pilbara region, is led by Yuri Operations Pty Ltd, a joint venture between ENGIE Renewables Australia Pty Ltd and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. It involves the construction of an 18-megawatt solar power plant, an 8-megawatt battery energy storage system (BESS), and a 10-megawatt electrolyzer, aiming to produce 640 tons of green hydrogen annually using renewable solar energy.

Yokogawa Australia will supply the EMS, developed by Yokogawa Group company PXiSE Energy Solutions LLC, to control the solar power plant, BESS, and electrolyzer. This EMS will be integrated with an integrated control system (ICS) centered around the Collaborative Information Server solution provided by Yokogawa for Phase 0. Once these systems are in place, the Yuri facility's renewable energy production will be autonomously managed to ensure stability and power quality based on factors such as weather and the operational needs of the adjacent ammonia plant.

Yokogawa's PXiSE grid control solutions have already received praise from a Horizon Power project in Western Australia and will be implemented in 34 additional Horizon Power microgrids. The company's Technical Excellence Center in Perth, Western Australia, will provide essential technical support and engineering services with its extensive experience in delivering cutting-edge solutions to various industries in Australia.

Koji Nakaoka, Senior Vice President at Yokogawa, emphasized the company's commitment to offering high-value solutions in an increasingly interconnected world. By integrating plant control and energy management systems, Yokogawa aims to support customers in their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management efforts.
