Mindtree develops digital control solution for L&T’s Hazira hydrogen plant

Mindtree has designed and implemented a digital command and control solution for Larsen & Toubro (L&T) for the company’s recently commissioned Green Hydrogen Plant in Hazira, Gujarat.

Built using Insights NxT, the IoT and data analytics platform of Mindtree NxT, the state-of-the-art 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 has 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.

The solution utilizes the Insights NxT platform to interface with complex operational technology systems to capture mission-critical data and enable different degrees of analysis and levers to streamline energy consumption.

This aids in quicker adoption of new clean energy, improved environmental monitoring and reporting, and competitive pricing of products and services.

Derek M. Shah, Senior Vice President at L&T added, “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.”

Venu Lambu, Executive Director at Mindtree said, “It sets a new benchmark in intelligent systems that can turn data into sound sustainability decisions, responsible actions, and profitable outcomes.”
