HollySys Supports Successful Commissioning of the World’s First 30-MW-Class Pure Hydrogen Gas Turbine “Jupiter One”

Recently, the world's first 30-MW-class pure hydrogen gas turbine, "Jupiter One", was commissioned and put into operation in Inner Mongolia, China. HollySys served as the project's core control system provider, delivering the Turbine Control System (TCS) based on its self-developed, gas-turbine-dedicated control platform.

About "Jupiter One"

Developed by Wuxi Mingyang Hydrogen Power Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Mingyang Intelligent Group, "Jupiter One" can reduce carbon emissions by more than 200 KTA compared with conventional coal-fired power units of similar capacity. Its combined-cycle system generates up to 48,000 kWh per hour, meeting the daily electricity demand of approximately 5,500 households. The project represents a landmark breakthrough for China's heavy-duty gas turbine technology for hydrogen energy and is widely regarded as a key step toward an integrated clean energy model combining wind, solar, hydrogen, energy storage, and gas.

HollySys Solution: Advanced Control for Zero-Carbon Power

Operating a gas turbine on 100% hydrogen presents significant challenges, including high flame speed, strong combustion oscillations, and an elevated risk of flashback, placing extremely stringent demands on control system responsiveness, accuracy, and reliability. To address these challenges, HollySys delivered an independently developed, safe, and intelligent integrated control solution.

Exceptional safety and reliability: The system adopts multi-level redundancy and fail-safe design, with millisecond-level response and protection capabilities, ensuring precise emergency shutdown under extreme operating conditions.

Advanced control algorithms: Adaptive, disturbance-resistant algorithms were developed to address the unique characteristics of pure hydrogen combustion, effectively suppressing combustion oscillations and ensuring stable operation in high-efficiency ranges.

End-to-end intelligent coordination: The control system enables integrated coordination across auxiliary systems, hydrogen supply, combustion control, and power generation, allowing rapid response to load fluctuations and grid dispatch requirements while delivering strong peak-regulation performance and grid adaptability.

Full Lifecycle Support: From Concept to Operation

HollySys supported the project throughout its full lifecycle, from early-stage design and system integration to commissioning and operation. Digital delivery and virtual commissioning were completed on HollySys' proprietary platforms prior to shipment, significantly reducing on-site commissioning time and project risk. An integrated intelligent operation and maintenance system provides real-time data analytics, fault prediction, and health management, supporting long-term, efficient operation.

The operation of the 30-MW-class pure hydrogen gas turbine validates the technical and economic feasibility of large-scale hydrogen power generation. It provides critical equipment support for renewable-dominated power systems and demonstrates the potential of pure hydrogen gas turbines as flexible grid-side resources for peak regulation, renewable energy integration, and long-duration energy storage. By efficiently complementing variable energy sources such as wind and solar, the project enhances the security and stability of next-generation power systems. Looking ahead, HollySys will continue to advance automation, digitalization, and intelligent control technologies, contributing practical solutions to the global energy transition and carbon neutrality goals.
