Long Term Field Testing of PEM Fuel Cell Backup Applications in the Field of Communication

Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture is testing five market-ready PEM fuel cell based backup systems for communication infrastructures in Switzerland. All systems are installed in the field. They work in a power range from 2 to 6 Kilowatt. Hydrogen is supplied by 50 liter pressure cylinders at 200 bar. During a testing period of two years, remotely triggered grid failures were performed on a regular basis. In accordance with end user demands there are different operational concepts. In this work the focus is on these concepts, the reliability and the technical readiness of the systems.+ ID der Publikation: hslu_52022 + Art des Beitrages: Präsentation Konferenzpapier/Tagungsbeitrag + Sprache: Englisch + Letzte Aktualisierung: 2020-06-30 15:33:4
