BlueGen as part of the innovation offensive DVGW

As part of the innovation initiative of the DVGW (German Association of Gas and Water) investigated the gas heat-Institut in Essen (GWI), the potential applications of fuel cell technology from Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited . To this end, the DVGW has been in the last several years BlueGen ? systems purchased at this a long term test to undergo.

The objective of these tests is clearly defined. This is to examine, among other things, such as fuel cell technology can be combined with other technologies in order to achieve optimum use of buildings. In addition to the BlueGen ? systems at various locations in Germany used for training.

The first of Zwichenergebnisse carried out under practical conditions of long-term tests speak for themselves: 60% electrical efficiency at a power of 1.5 kW and a degradation of less than 1 percent to 1,000 operating hours.

This puts BlueGen ? in the field of highly efficient power generation technologies (combined-cycle power plants) and provides, even with the optional ability to use the waste heat, many interesting applications.
