Prime Power

• Co-generation and prime power for off grid or grid parallel installations.
• LPG or natural gas
• Reduce carbon footprint of your site
• Dramatically reduced carbon footprint as Natural gas is the only input
• No reduction in air quality
• Power production on site increases efficiency as no line losses
• The main grid power can be utilised as a back up so there is no need for additional diesel generator sets and the associated costs
• Possibility of  exporting excess power to the grid during peak times

LPG Fuel  Cells

The low-temperature LPG fuel cell systems provide remote, off-grid and primary power where grid power is unreliable or nonexistent.  Reliable and rugged, LPG fuel cell system delivers continuous power through even the most extreme conditions. Coupled with high-efficiency ratings, LPG fuel cell system reduces operating costs making it an economical solution for prime power requirements.

Fueled by liquid petroleum gas (LPG), fuel cell systems produce power without combustion.  As a result, the fuel cell stack produces virtually no emissions, creating only heat and clean water as by-products. The LPG solution is quiet, produces less green house gas emissions than traditional power generation technology, and requires fewer preventive maintenance calls per year than traditional combustion technologies, lowering operating costs.

LPG fuel cell system fuel cell systems offer as high as three times an efficiency improvement over the diesel generator. The efficiency-driven operation expense savings presents a total payback period of approximately two years. Though the magnitude of the savings is dependent upon the site power draw and fuel costs, the typical five-year savings can range from 10% of diesel power generation expenses.  Because the fuel cell is more efficient, the savings actually increase proportionally as the fuel prices increase. 

The control system can be equipped with additional sensors to allow the bus voltage set point to be temperature compensated to maximize the life of the batteries.  The system can also be equipped with an optional inverter to supply alternating current loads to meet site requirements. Although the intended mode of operation is continuous power duty, backup power applications may be supported when coupled with sophisticated service schedules. 

Fuel cell systems powering telecommunication and industrial sites across the globe are proving the advantages of fuel cells — lower maintenance, fuel costs and emissions, as well as longer life — compared with traditional internal combustion engines.
