Topsoe has secured a grant of approximately 3.6 million dollars for Powerfactor, a project that focuses on ensuring Power-to-X plants connect safely and reliably to the power grid.

The Powerfactor project focuses on making this process more consistent and predictable by developing standardized methods and best practices on how Power-to-X plants connect to and operate with the grid.

Lyngby/Denmark – Topsoe has been awarded a DKK 25 million (approximately 3.6 million dollar) grant for Powerfactor together with Aarhus University and Planenergi. The project focuses on ensuring Power-to-X plants connect safely and reliably to the power grid.

Today, grid integration for Power-to-X plants often requires project-specific studies and documentation. This case-by-case approach creates uncertainty, long approval processes and risks that new plants interfere with the stability of the power grid. The Powerfactor project focuses on making this process more consistent and predictable by developing standardized methods and best practices on how Power-to-X plants connect to and operate with the grid.

Kim Grøn Knudsen, CIO at Topsoe, said: “The Powerfactor project is focused on removing one of the key challenges for successful large-scale deployment of Power-to-X plants and scaling of green fuels. Today, grid access and compliance are among the biggest obstacles for new plants, and we believe we can demonstrate a standardized, reliable approach that works for both developers and grid operators.”

The project will include Topsoe hydrogen technologies, such as ereact and Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell (SOEC). Planenergi will support the project with their knowledge of resource saving systems, and Aarhus University with academic research through their Biological & Chemical Engineering and Electrical & Computer Engineering departments. In the project, the partners will combine electrolysis, electrified reforming and methanol production technologies with advanced grid emulation tools. This will help the partners identify and reduce grid‑related disturbances and define best practices for reliable operation – while supporting a stable power system.
