Cosber Technology, a leading manufacturer of vehicle testing equipment, has received three certificates from TÜV SÜD. In addition to their work in vehicle testing equipment, Cosber also focuses on developing innovative solutions for sustainable and secure energy supplies. One of their latest creations is the Smart H2 Energy Platform, which offers a comprehensive solution for self-sufficient energy supply using hydrogen for buildings.
The key components of the platform are the Hydrogen Power Cubes (HPC), which consist of an AEM electrolyser, a hydrogen storage unit, a fuel cell power generation system, a power inverter system, and a heat exchange system. When combined with photovoltaic or wind energy systems, HPCs can meet all the energy needs of buildings using renewable energy and hydrogen.
Cosber had proactively considered regulatory requirements during the development of the H2 Energy platform and the HPCs, making the certification process smoother and faster. Dr. Helge Knobbe, Head of Industry Service at TÜV SÜD Korea, highlighted the challenges faced in certifying the HPCs with their many components. The HPCs had to meet regulations such as the Machinery Directive 2023/1230, the Pressure Equipment Directive 2024/68/EU, and the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU for electromagnetic compatibility.
