Electricity and heat from the fuel cell:
A pioneer project in Dormagen
Energy efficiency is now capitalized: minimum usage of resources with possible high benefit. The fuel cell provides a particularly promising technology. Martin Kämmerling operates such a system - and the evd assisted him.
Martin Kämmerling lives since 1999 in Dormagen Rheinfeld. Tech-savvy family father, who works as a computer specialist for Bayer, would like to make a contribution to environmental protection. Nowhere better than at the energy usage in your own four walls, you can.
"The standard solutions were, me too" Kaikai smirks. "I knew going even more. As a young man, the fuel cell has interested me. Chemical energy without the detour over the combustion from electric to convert has me from the first moment excited - even if it took many years until such devices were available."
The electricity in a fuel cell is based on the electrochemical reaction of natural gas and air to water vapor, carbon dioxide and electricity. The secret of this technology is a process that takes place when over 800 degrees in ceramic cells - and the extremely efficiently. Also climate-neutral natural gas used, this protects the environment even more.
Extremely efficient
2013, Martin discovered the Australian manufacturer of ceramic fuel cells, produced in Heinsberg in the space Aachen a fuel cell device, which is marketed under the name BlueGEN as "the world's most efficient micro power plant in the world". "That was exactly what I had imagined. Because it got me on the electricity. The demand for heat is rather secondary in our perfectly insulated House."
A few months later was actually a BlueGEN in Kaikajora cellar. Since February 14, 2014, runs the facility around the clock and produces electricity. It accumulates heat of course used. This leads to a high efficiency of up to 60 percent electric and 25 percent thermal. In plain language: from the used natural gas, a maximum is pulled out.
Open doors at the FDEA
At the latest when the registration of a plant of that feeds electricity to the grid, comes the local energy provider in the game. "We were immediately impressed by what our client had before," says Falk Hesse, head of the Department of electrical engineering, device management, and IT of the evd. "We have sought ways, Kaikai over the supply of natural gas and the removal of excess current, to support Mr."
Smart House technology
So she installed a State of the art measuring system evd in his house. This smart-meter technology (also known as "smart meters"), involved in a communication system via GPRS and Internet, captured on the one hand the consumption of gas and electricity, and registered on the other hand, the supply of fuel cells and solar energy. A portal of the partner company Rhein-Energie AG, the data in a clear form can be presented and evaluated.
Also promotes evd the gas supply for the fuel cell with the collective "evd gas climate". Thus the corresponding related carbon dioxide is offset by corresponding savings in certified climate protection projects.

"Our company supports as a pioneer project in Rhine field with great commitment", emphasizes Klemens Diekmann, CEO of evd power dormagen gmbh. "As a local energy supplier we evolve further to the energy service provider." The Intelligent measuring technology installed by us for the first time puts us in the position to identify specific data, to analyze and evaluate. So we can gain experience with the innovative smart-meter technology in the own catchment area.
Everything goes around
"For me, it is a great feeling, to produce my own ecological electricity," forward Martin Kämmerling. "This is something special." The family itself consumes a large part of this electrical energy. The rest is a fee in the electricity network supply - along with the electricity generated by the photovoltaic system on the roof of the House. Additionally a solar located here thermieanlage to the production of hot water with the help of the Sun.
"Everyone is talking about the energy revolution, I want to be," says Martin Kämmerling and proudly reports that his plant running trouble-free. Its networked home automation gives him the good feeling, to make our own contribution to the environment and climate protection. "The way forward must begin in the highly developed countries", he says. "The world needs to develop pioneers, to energy efficiency further. But you need also the right partner - which I found in the evd."
