Auxiliary Hybrid Power
The goal of the project was to demonstrate a large-scale, high output, combined fuel cell and lithium battery solution for auxiliary power purposes.
With the introduction of a new green power generator technology based on fuel cells, a lithium battery pack and a inverter system, we seek to create a new auxiliary power unit that can replace traditional fossil fueled industrial generator solutions, or having a vehicle engine idling for power purposes.
By combining the lithium and fuel cell technologies we create a system with high efficiency and low fuel costs. The two technologies complement each other perfectly and give the power extension that is necessary to enter new markets and create applications that were not otherwise possible. By using the battery and fuel technologies of the future in lithium and methanol, we believe to contribute to a shift in the technologies used for power purpose.
The technologies are currently gaining commercial success in small scale, single technology applications. But in order to truly deliver a competitive high power output product we see the necessity in demonstrating large scale, combined technology solutions, tested in real life environments. The goal is to have a market ready commercial, high power solution that minimizes operational costs with a green profile.
With support from the Danish Energy Agency, through their Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP), a scalable Auxiliary Hybrid Power platform has been developed through adaption of existing Lithium Iron Phosphate battery- and High Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cell technology. During the course of the project, the Auxiliary Hybrid Power platform has been specified, tested and constructed in a wide variety of system builds, aimed for test in different market segments, users and configurations in terms of specifications, physical construction, integration and complementary components. The technical and commercial research and verification carried out through the project has resulted in a tested, proven and unified platform for further market implementation.
