Proton energy PRTN:Proton is developing the unique UNIGEN® regenerative fuel cell system, which reversibly converts electricity to hydrogen, and hydrogen back to electricity as needed. Proton's UNIGEN fuel cell system provides the ability to store energy in a highly available form ideally suited for backup power systems and premium power. UNIGEN fuel cell systems are expected to scale up much less expensively than conventional batteries Proton's HOGEN® water electrolyzers produce 99.999+% pure hydrogen at 150 psig or greater without mechanical compression. HOGEN hydrogen generators are designed to meet the needs of a diverse hydrogen user community including semiconductor manufacturing, metals processing, chemical manufacturing, oils processing, meteorology and generator cooling. These fully integrated, automated, low maintenance systems create a new standard in on-site hydrogen generation, providing process pressure hydrogen without use of mechanical compressors, liquid electrolytes or asbestos separators. These systems allow increased levels of process control as well as enhanced safety through reduced levels of hydrogen inventory. Extension of the hydrogen supply pressure to higher levels is underway to permit compact gas storage and direct injection into higher pressure processes.
Enhanced high pressure HOGEN hydrogen generators will also be ideally suited to meet the requirements of the emerging transportation and energy markets. Powered from grid, wind, solar or hydroelectric sources, these systems will convert electrical energy to hydrogen for storage in gaseous form. This hydrogen will then be converted to electrical energy through the use of specially configured combustion engines or fuel cells.
und Hydrogen Burner Technology HBTI: The Fuel-Flexible, Fuel Processor (F3P), developed by HBT, is the fundamental breakthrough that enables PFCS to create integrated products to open up these emerging fuel cell markets. This revolutionary system is capable of converting a wide range of fuels into a hydrogen rich product gas required by fuel cells.
By optimizing the F3P for a specific application, PFCS can eliminate time consuming and costly development activities. This approach to creating products that meet near-term market goals has put PFCS in a position to lead rather than follow The key to market introduction of fuel cell power systems for the home is the ability to provide hydrogen at the point of electric consumption by utilizing existing fuel cell infrastructures. By economically and efficiently providing hydrogen in small quantities, PFCS products meet this market need. The first generation product under development is a 10KWe unit operating on natural gas. Future integration of heat recovery systems coupled with the fuel cell system will enhance such an appliance by providing not only independent power generation, but hot water and air for space heating.
Ich versteh von der Technik nicht viel,scheint aber doch schon fast einsetzbar zu sein,zumindest im Heizungsbereich,werde ich mal im Auge behalten
