Tokyo/Japan – Yokogawa Electric Corporation has recently announced that its subsidiary Yokogawa Australia has received an order from Monford Group to supply an energy management system (EMS) for the initial phase ("phase 0") of the Yuri Green Hydrogen Project, which is constructing an industrial-scale renewable hydrogen production complex in Australia.

The Yuri project is being undertaken in the Pilbara region of Western Australia by Yuri Operations, a joint venture between Engie Renewables Australia and Mitsui & Co. A consortium consisting of the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) companies Technip Energies and Monford Group is constructing these facilities, which will consist of an 18-megawatt solar power plant, an 8-megawatt battery energy storage system (BESS), and a 10-megawatt electrolyzer. Using carbon-free solar energy, this facility will be able to produce up to 640 tons of green hydrogen per year. The hydrogen will be used as a feedstock to produce green ammonia at an adjacent ammonia plant operated by Yara Pilbara Fertiliser (YPF). YPF is a wholly owned subsidiary of Yara International.

For the control of the solar power plant, BESS, and electrolyzer, Yokogawa Australia will supply an EMS that is developed by Yokogawa Group company Pxise Energy Solutions. This EMS will be combined with an integrated control system (ICS) centering on the Collaborative Information Server solution that Yokogawa will also be providing for phase 0 of this project, under a separate contract. Once these systems are installed and integrated, the Yuri facility's renewable energy production will be autonomously managed to ensure consistent stability and power quality based on the operating requirements of the adjacent ammonia plant, the weather, and other factors.

Commenting on Yokogawa's participation in this project, Koji Nakaoka, a Yokogawa senior vice president and head of the company's Energy & Sustainability Business Headquarters and Global Sales Headquarters, said, "In a world in which systems are becoming closely integrated, based on the system of systems (SoS) concept, we will contribute to our customer's ESG management by offering high value-added solutions, including the integration of plant control and energy management systems to enable the timely control of complex power systems."
