Applications, Performance and Payback

The BlueGen fuel cell produces more than 13,000 kWh of electric energy and 5,000 kWh of thermal energy per year at full power (1500 watts continuous +/-) and is therefore particularly suitable for:

- small to medium sized office buildings,
- shops,
- farms
- other SME applications.

Also, the BlueGen suitable for applications such as:

- schools,
- small clinics,
- partnerships of doctors, dentists and / or physiotherapists
- public buildings,
- large (multiple) households
- or specific applications where coninue energiebheofte and where leverbetrouwbaarhied is important.

Most companies consume less energy at night than during the day. Your fuel supplies over night back to the grid. If you day more energy than the production of fuel cell BlueGen then take additional energy from the grid. The supply and resupply of power is for you offset your energy company. Please note that a limited number of energy companies this offset to a maximum number of kWh per year.

Depending on your usage, you or your company so fully air needs in your own energy.
The BlueGen fuel cell does his job with an efficiency of over 85%: 60% electric and 25% thermal. Because a fuel cell 24/7 running BlueGen delivers fuel annually over 13,000 kWh of electricity and 5,000 kWh of thermal energy.


Calculation example

A sample calculation to provide any approaching the payback can be represented as follows:

Assumptions
- User: Partnership, general partnership or sole proprietorship
- Tax Type: Income tax (52%)
- Tax deductions: EIA (41.5%) KIA (28%)
- Amortization: 5 years
- Use: 13,000 kWh per year
- Flow Rate: 23.4 ct high rate / low rate 21,5 ct
- Gas price: 53,4 ct

Results
- CO2 reduction obv gas: 50%
- CO2 reduction obv biogas: 100%
- Warm water (70 ̊ C) per day: 200 liters
- Reliable supply current
- Payback period: 5 to 7 years
- ACF



Combined with heat pump

Especially in combination with a heat pump, the efficiency of the fuel cell BlueGen further 'inflated' can be. The diagram below shows this.



This high efficiency is the payback period of the BlueGen fuel cell is relatively short. The payback period is dependent on the following factors:

- Business or individual (for VAT refund)
- Profit being made (because investment environment, other grant schemes apply)
- Does the county or municipality where the BlueGen fuel cell is also placed a "financial" cents? Province of Gelderland example 'sponsors' individuals with grants.
- Is the expected consumption close to the production of BlueGen fuel cell (13,000 kWH electric and 5,000 kWh thermal)
- Paired with for instance a heat pump or WKO installation
- Is it a listed or historic building (because of financial capabilities).




The BlueGen's high efficiency pairs up fantastically when combined with a heat pump. These opportunities for those with the matching requirements should be lapped up! Hopefully our partners are demonstrating these numbers.
