methods, speeding up the process, and ensuring that we have resilient architecture in place regarding electrolyser locations and their setup. Consistency of performance, quality and safety are all factors that we need to maintain as we scale up.”
MODEL-BASED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING So, how can model-based systems engineering help to address some of these challenges? “The International Council on
Systems Engineering often talks about a single source of truth,” Kontic explained. “Zuken’s Genesys systems engineering tool captures all necessary information in one single model definition, so we have a consistent description of that system. The model allows you to go back to understand what the requirements are, what the architecture is, the behaviour, and if we need to adapt this over the product’s life cycle, we can modify the model. This is called flexible modelling.” Essentially, Genesys ensures the
continuous consistency of product model information across its entire life cycle, guaranteeing model compliance with checks and visual guidance. This enables flexible modelling across domains and system levels and allows for intuitive interaction via its user-friendly interface and language. Traceability, role management and reporting capabilities offer enhanced collaboration, and the system can be seamlessly integrated with Zuken’s portfolio, Excel connector and API. “So just to give you a little bit more of a diagrammatic approach to this,

if we look at an electronic system, we’ve got our water supply, the power supply, renewables, control systems and auxiliary,” Kontic explained. “The first thing we’ll want to capture is the requirements for our electrolysis system, how it’s going to work, what is the output, and so on. These requirements will be as they are in our products. Then, you refine them further to UV so you have a specific detail requirement. Now a requirement is linked to the behaviour of the system, a requirement can also say there is a requirement for this component in the system. Some customers need an additional functionality or component, so you can describe that in the system. And you can see in this instance the matrix is understanding traceability, understanding how requirements will be verified, how requirements testify components, etc. Design review

processes are very well supported in model-based systems engineering, so you can log your risks and concerns and document them. So again, collaborating with lots of different engineers in a much bigger group is possible, and then you have your verification and validation. So that is all part of the system; at the unit test level, at the subsystem test, at the system level, and then finally, in the customer acceptance test. All of this can be documented within that single model.” With this and other model-based
system engineering tools, Zuken says customers can start to practice capturing this information and communicate it to stakeholders effectively, in order to further accelerate not only the adoption of hydrogen within the transportation sector, but the pace of innovation within hydrogen technologies, systems and production.
