Mindtree solution to manage Larsen & Toubro’s green hydrogen plant
Mindtree’s digital solution enables remote monitoring and control of all services at Larsen & Toubro’s green hydrogen plant in Gujarat. It drives the effective utilization of resources such as solar and battery energy storage systems.
Mindtree, an Indian multinational technology consulting company, has designed and implemented a digital command-and-control solution for Larsen & Toubro’s recently commissioned green hydrogen plant in Hazira, Gujarat.
Mindtree built the state-of-the-art solution using its Internet of Things (IoT) data analytics platform Insights NxT. The solution enables remote monitoring and control of all services at the plant to help optimize operational and energy costs and drive effective utilization of resources such as solar energy and battery energy storage systems.
The solution is equipped with preventive and predictive data analytics capabilities to provide real-time insights into plant performance and support data-driven decision-making. This will help reduce the plant’s carbon footprint and improve operational agility by increasing electrolyzer efficiency and reducing downtime.
“We are committed to providing innovative and sustainable solutions to meet the energy needs of tomorrow while reducing our environmental impact,” said Derek M. Shah, senior vice president and head of green manufacturing and development at L&T. “At our heavy engineering unit in Hazira, we use natural gas for welding and heat treatment operations. The solution developed by Mindtree will help us effectively reduce the plant’s carbon footprint by mixing green hydrogen with natural gas, facilitating swifter adoption of cleaner fuel and alternative energy sources.”
