Germany - The CAMPFIRE implementation project will support the conception and research for an implementation

Description

The CAMPFIRE implementation project will bundle the conception and research for the implementation of the entire "green ammonia" transport chain for direct use in engines and fuel cells for stationary energy supply and maritime mobility as well as for the supply of hydrogen filling stations. The implementation project thus serves as an initial spark for the development of utilization chains that serve in the field of the carbon-free hydrogen economy 2.0 on an industrial scale. In the CAMPFIRE Open Innovation Lab (COIL), test fields and infrastructures are designed and implemented, reactors and test facilities are developed, manufactured, adapted and optimized, technical support for development work is provided and test operations are carried out. For the required test bench control system "P2A-A2P: Power-to-Ammonia and Ammonia-to-Power" in sub-project CF08_2 Functional model NH3 marine engine, the contractor is to design and implement a local control system consisting of computer technology and software components for linking the individual modules of the test bench and to ensure safe operation. The modules of the test stand, which implement processes for the energetic conversion and utilization of ammonia, are primarily implemented as intelligent, intrinsically safe units and modularly encapsulated in containers. The control system is mainly based on industrial network standards.
The test field, for which a comprehensive control system is implemented as part of the service provision, is designed as an open-air plant and is a sub-unit of a comprehensive management unit for the parallel operation of up to 4 test fields. The individual test fields of the system are each monitored and controlled from their own control room. In each case, four test fields are grouped around a node and receive their media from there, which can be taken from the media interfaces. The overall system control, which is not part of the tender, ensures the targeted connection and disconnection of the supply media, manages the gas warning sensors and provides a SIL2-capable alarm interface for all individual modules of the test bays.
