Resumen

According to the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) in the period 2021 the energy production was 57371 GWh, this consumption can be covered with hydrogen green energy being a clean and environmentally friendly energy vector. This work develops the automation of hydrogen production and automatic filling control. For the simulation and design of the hydrogen plant, FlexSim and Value Stream Mapping were used to improve the production processes, while for the hydrogen balloon filling and transport stage, Factory IO and TIA PORTAL software were used to obtain a filling control, which is optimal for this process.. Finally with the first simulation a total cycle of 28710 was obtained with a tak time of 137.38 seconds / hydrogen cylinder, so in the hydrogen production that the simulation was carried out, 28 units of hydrogen were obtained in 12 minutes with 3 seconds, which is equivalent to 4 hydrogen cylinders produced.
