WEG, a global leader in motors, drives and energy solutions, has recently attended the Hydrogen Technology World Expo 2025. WEG prominently featured its WEGmotion drives portfolio, a flexible suite of high-efficiency motors, gearboxes, inverters and control systems. These components form the backbone of hydrogen plant operations — driving pumps and compressors, managing mechanical loads and ensuring smooth, efficient system performance. Purpose-built for demanding industrial environments, these solutions deliver energy efficiency, process optimisation and long-term durability.
In addition to the drives portfolio, visitors to WEG’s stand also had the opportunity to see how WEG is already actively involved in hydrogen projects worldwide. WEG’s rectifiers for green hydrogen production were demonstrated through a 3D model. This system converts AC to DC to power electrolysis, the process crucial to green hydrogen production. Designed for performance and durability, WEG’s line of rectifiers — thyristor, diode and IGBT — ensures the right fit for any hydrogen electrolysis plant.
Furthermore, WEG showcased its modular battery energy storage systems (BESS) for energy storage and management. WEG’s BESS solutions provide real-time monitoring and high energy density, addressing numerous needs in the power sector, including power stability and peak shaving. Acting as a large rechargeable battery, the system stores excess electricity from renewables for later use, balancing variable generation and ensuring a steady power supply for hydrogen production.
“Hydrogen is widely recognised as a cornerstone of global decarbonisation strategies,” said Ralph Klein, sales and marketing manager at WEG Germany. “As adoption increases, energy infrastructure must evolve to support the safe, efficient and large-scale production of green hydrogen. To this end, WEG is involved in supplying high-efficiency synchronous motors, full rectification systems and automation equipment to green hydrogen plants across Europe, the Americas and Asia.”
“Showcasing our expertise at Hydrogen Technology World Expo 2025 was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to advancing clean energy technologies,” added Klein. “By offering a complete, integrated package of motors, drives and gearboxes, we help customers reduce complexity, lower operating costs and improve overall system efficiency. Our goal is to support the clean energy transition with proven, scalable technologies that enhance safety, performance and sustainability across hydrogen applications.”
