Hioki Delivers ALDAS-E Water Electrolysis Impedance Measurement System to JAXA

Hioki is pleased to announce that, in February 2024, it delivered the ALDAS-E, a system for measuring impedance in water electrolyzers and MEAs*1, to Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

Background

In February 2024, Hioki delivered the ALDAS-E, a system for measuring impedance in water electrolyzers and MEAs, to JAXA.
JAXA is conducting research on fuel cells, regenerative fuel cell, production of oxygen and hydrogen through the electrolysis of water, and Sabatier reactions, and the agency needs technology to analyze impedance while devices are energized with high levels of current in order to resolve problems during the water electrolysis process.
The ALDAS-E can collect data while electrolysis devices operate under large currents, a capability that is needed when combining water electrolyzers, water electrolysis cells, and technologies that use Sabatier reactions.

Features of the ALDAS-E

ALDAS-E, the system for evaluating water electrolyzers and cell stacks, provides broad voltage and current measurement ranges and a high level of noise resistance. In the past, measurement methods were available for testing small cells in a laboratory setting, but measurement using large currents was considered difficult. Thanks to industry-first technology applying Hioki's strengths in impedance measurement and high-precision current measurement, it is possible to evaluate the characteristics, and to monitor the status, of large-scale water electrolyzers and cells during operation.
Going forward, Hioki will continue to help build a sustainable society by supplying systems for use in R&D and evaluation testing in the drive to realize a hydrogen-based society.
