H Cube Solution (CEO Hong Jong-seop) announced that it will participate in CES 2024, which will be held in Las Vegas, USA from Tuesday, January 9 to Friday, January 12, next year (local time).
H Cube Solution aims to accelerate the realization of a hydrogen society by providing accurate and reliable hydrogen energy solutions. As a hydrogen energy high-tech company, its strengths include having excellent professional manpower and unrivaled technological capabilities in the fields of fuel cells and water electrolysis stacks and systems. The company also revealed its vision to take a step closer to a hydrogen society with industry customers by providing integrated solutions for the rapid introduction of fuel cell and water electrolysis technologies.
Through CES 2024, H Cube Solution plans to introduce solid oxide cell (SOC) digital twin technology in the system sector and H-TWIN products, a hydrogen energy solution based on this.
H-TWIN implements a twin system identical to the actual SOC system in virtual reality and determines the past and present operation history of the SOC system by combining data and information representing various physical structures, electrochemical operation logic, and operating conditions to determine the future state. can be diagnosed, controlled, and predicted. This technology is considered an essential software matching technology to improve the operability of SOC hardware systems.
Regarding this, an official from H Cube Solution said, “H-TWIN not only enables the design and analysis of various SOC systems, but also enables real-time system monitoring and optimal control by linking with the actual system. In addition, combined with artificial intelligence algorithms, it enables active response by diagnosing the current state of the system and predicting future situations without arbitrary intervention by engineers.”
In other words, it functions as the brain of the physical SOC system, optimizing the performance of the system and extending its lifespan. Since the technology encompasses system design, analysis, diagnosis, control, and prediction, customers can utilize the product from the system design stage and naturally link it to real-time diagnosis, control, and prediction.
H Cube Solution recorded sales of KRW 155 million in its first year of business in 2021, and achieved 250% annual growth with sales of KRW 377 million in 2022. By December of this year, we have completed supplying stack and system solutions to major domestic conglomerates such as Hyundai Motor Company, HD Korea Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, POSCO Holdings, Doosan Fuel Cell, and Samsung Engineering, and have also been selected for the TIPS project in 2023.
An official said, “We plan to focus our capabilities on research and development of H-TWIN v2.0 and v3.0 of the diagnostic/control platform to expand into new markets in the future. In particular, we plan to focus on the dynamic computing environment and real-time optimal diagnosis/control function of artificial intelligence-based systems. “We want to conduct research and development,” he said.
He added, “Rather than rest on our laurels, we plan to expand our business beyond the domestic market through CES and by entering overseas markets. In particular, the North American market is the world’s largest SOC market and is home to world-class SOC system companies such as BloomEnergy and FuelCell Energy, so CES will be a great bridgehead for pioneering the North American market,” he said. “We will introduce hydrogen energy digital twin technology to the global market.” “We want to promote our excellence and build potential partnerships with major companies in the hydrogen energy value chain,” he said.
Meanwhile, ‘CES’, the world’s largest IT exhibition hosted by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), is an exhibition where you can see the flow of innovative technologies around the world at a glance and is held every January in Las Vegas, USA. AVING News, which has covered CES for 18 consecutive years, has reported CES news around the world every year since 2006, and has been selected through ‘BEST OF CES’ and ‘BEST OF MADE IN KOREA’, which select the best innovative products, companies and technologies. has been in progress. In addition, CES on-site issues are vividly conveyed through ‘AVING LIVE’.
The CES 2024 Seoul Unified Hall will be operated at the largest scale in terms of exhibition area, number of participating companies, and number of participating supporters since Seoul City’s first participation in CES in 2020. The Seoul Integration Center, in which 13 organizations collaborate and participate, is an important step in Seoul’s efforts to make Seoul a mecca for startups, and 17 of the companies participating in the Seoul Integration Center proved this by receiving innovation awards. The participating institutions in the Seoul Unification Center are ▲SBA ▲Seoul Bio Hub ▲Campus Town ▲AI Yangjae Hub ▲Gwanak-gu ▲Yonsei University ▲Korea University ▲Chung-Ang University ▲Sogang University ▲Kookmin University ▲Hanyang University ▲Konkuk University ▲Kyunghee University. Not only the Seoul Metropolitan Government, institutions, and companies, but also supporters through industry-academia cooperation are matched 1:1 with companies, and 85 supporters, the largest number, will participate.
