May be as intelligent decentralized power generation. Around the clock, throughout the year.
Produce electricity themselves, reduce energy costs!
BlueGen is a highly efficient, natural gas-powered micro fuel cell-based power plant to supply residential and small business electricity and heat. The heart of BlueGen form festoxidkeramische fuel cells. They are among the most efficient energy conversion systems that are currently on the market. The BlueGen plants reach a worldwide unique high electrical efficiency of up to 60%, with an overall efficiency of up to 85%.
Fuel burn no fuel, as is the case with other energy generating systems, such as the combustion engine or gas turbine driven power plants. This means that there is no noise and no vibration noises. Fuel cells produce electricity through an absolutely silent, electrochemical reaction. A characteristic of the fuel cell is therefore the direct generation of electricity from the water and gas fuels, and the by-products are produced water and useable heat again.
Due to the high electrical efficiency and thus lower heat output BlueGen systems offer the possibility of year-round reliable, low-carbon and decentralized energy. So that they can make a significant contribution to the energy revolution with citizen participation. BlueGen systems have the optimum operating point an electrical output of 1.5 kWe and a thermal output of 0.6 kW th.
All advantages at a glance
• High electrical efficiency current-carrying permits year-round operation • Reduction in CO2 emissions compared to German electricity mix to 50% • Adjustable output power, high efficiency even at partial load • Meet the daily hot water requirements of a four-person household • Side solution for existing heating systems integration using hot water tank • Remote monitoring and control via Internet •
Renewable energies with public participation
With the BlueGen technology can significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to conventional electricity and heat generation. Compared to the German electricity mix, about 50% of CO2 emissions can be saved. While the average CO2 emissions of electricity from the German power at about 560 g / kWhel are falling in BlueGen only around 280 g / kWhel.
With BlueGen facilities of electricity is produced there, where it is mainly consumed: in residential or small business. Such a decentralized solution to generate electricity can significantly help to reduce the large amount of investment in the renewal and expansion of the German electricity grid.
The fuel cell of BlueGen product line can be controlled over the Internet. This makes their maintenance and operation easy and comfortable.
Cutting edge technology for residential and commercial properties
BlueGen systems are particularly suitable for customers with a high current and a low heat demand, eg for modern office buildings, small businesses and public institutions. In conventional single-and multi-family homes offer BlueGen systems in conjunction with a conventional heating, such as a modern gas condensing boilers, low-carbon electricity and heat supply. The BlueGen covers the entire power requirement and also provides sufficient heat for hot water supply ready.
When the target of the Federal Government's insulation standards for the reduction of heat demand in existing buildings and in new passive and low energy houses BlueGen can cover the electricity and heat demand even usually alone.
So far BlueGen systems of Ceramic Fuel Cells operate in nine countries worldwide. The installations of Ceramic Fuel Cells meet among others the most stringent safety requirements of the CE marking. The fuel cell BlueGen is offered as a complete package: You rely on a system with perfectly matched components that are selected and installed by our experts. Functionality and performance and longevity of your BlueGen be a lasting influence on the quality of all system components involved - so can your highest efficiency fuel cell system can be guaranteed.
