EPC Energy Delivers Seven AEM Electrolyzer Systems to France
Another Engineering Milestone for AEM Water Electrolysis in European R&D and Demonstration Projects
Electro-Power-Cell Energy Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (EPC Energy) has recently completed the manufacturing, testing, and delivery of seven AEM (Anion Exchange Membrane) water electrolysis systems, which have now been shipped to France.
These AEM electrolyzer systems will be deployed in local research and low-carbon hydrogen demonstration projects, marking another step forward in EPC Energy’s continued engineering-scale deployment of AEM water electrolysis technology in the European market.
Project Background | AEM Water Electrolysis Enters the Engineering Validation Stage
As global decarbonization accelerates and hydrogen energy systems continue to evolve, AEM water electrolysis technology is gaining increasing attention from research institutions and pilot projects due to its potential advantages in:
Material cost reduction
Simplified system architecture
Operational flexibility
Unlike laboratory systems designed to push performance limits, the seven AEM electrolyzer systems delivered in this project were positioned from the outset as engineering validation platforms. Their core objectives include:
Verification of stable long-term operation
Clearly defined operating parameters and safety boundaries
Suitability for extended continuous testing and data accumulation
Support for controlled comparative studies under different operating conditions
This positioning aligns closely with the practical requirements of future low-carbon hydrogen demonstration projects and engineering scale-up applications.
Technical Overview | Parameter Design Focused on Engineering Stability
The delivered AEM electrolyzer systems are based on EPC Energy’s standardized stack design and system integration platform, with a strong emphasis on engineering robustness. Key operating parameter ranges include:
Pressure capability
Differential pressure support of up to 30 bar
Current density range
Standard stable operation: 1–2 A/cm²
Peak capability: up to 5 A/cm²
Single-cell operating voltage
Controlled at ≤ 2.5 V
Rather than pursuing short-term performance peaks, these parameters were selected with engineering safety, controllability, and long-term stability as primary design criteria, making the systems well suited for systematic testing across multiple operating conditions.
Engineering and Delivery Highlights | Designed for Research and Demonstration Use
Throughout manufacturing and delivery, EPC Energy implemented a system-oriented engineering approach tailored to research and demonstration environments:
All units underwent full assembly, functional inspection, and basic operational testing prior to shipment
Core operating parameters, recommended conditions, and safety limits were clearly documented in technical manuals
System structures and interfaces were designed to facilitate future test expansion, module adjustment, and maintenance
The systems support continuous operation, data acquisition, and long-term monitoring in research and pilot settings
This engineering-driven delivery model provides a reliable foundation for users to carry out extended testing and demonstration programs.
EPC Energy Perspective | The Engineering Value of AEM Lies in Steady-State Operation
From EPC Energy’s perspective, the key challenge in bringing AEM water electrolysis technology into real-world applications is not achieving the highest possible current density in the short term, but rather:
Whether stable operation can be maintained within clearly defined voltage, current density, and pressure limits
Whether the system supports long-term testing and meaningful data accumulation
Whether it provides a credible engineering reference for future scale-up and operation under more complex conditions
The successful delivery of these seven AEM electrolyzer systems to France represents a concrete validation of this engineering philosophy and lays the groundwork for future deployment in larger-scale or more demanding application scenarios.
