Nel Hydrogen

Nel Hydrogen manufacturers Alkaline and Proton Exchange

Membrane (PEM) water electrolysers, producing from 0.27 Nm3 to 19,400 Nm3 of H2 per hour. Units can be grouped together into electrolyser plants for even larger production rates. Electrolysers are used to store excess electricity from renewable resources in the H2 bond. The H2 can then be sold to industry (converting curtailed power to cash), or burned in a turbine or run through a fuel cell to put the stored energy onto the grid during periods of low generation or peak demand. Due to their fast response times the PEM electrolysers are also used by renewable energy plants to balance the power the plant puts onto the grid.

Since it can run at a high current density, its has a large operating range, and because gas-liquid separators and gas coolers are built inside the module, multi-MW hydrogen generation plants can be pre-assembled in shipping containers, reducing the cost of plant construction. Packaged hydrogen generators are offered with 100, 300, and 500 NM3/h output capacities.

US Helicals promotes the use of deep foundations that specialize in helical pile technology. Helical piles are optimal for the energy storage and renewable power markets, where soils are poor. Helical piles are a segmented deep foundation that uses the native soils to support the asset. This lowers the environmental impact of the site construction and reduces the carbon emissions of the construction project by up to 50%. There are no vibrations or soil spoils from the installation, and typically are 66% faster to install than concrete piles. Their vertically integrated company can provide engineering, fabrication, and actual installation of the helical piles anywhere in the United States.

Hybrid Systems

Icarus RT, Inc.

Icarus is developing Quartet, a hybrid photovoltaic/thermal plus storage system. Quartet cools PV panels to increase the power output of the panels 12-18%. At the same time, Quartet doubles the panel’s total energy output by co-generating and storing hot water. Commercial and industrial facilities can use this water to meet demand during evening, nighttime, or emergency use, resulting in a lower natural gas bill. Quartet can be a solution for new and existing buildings by providing PV power, meeting their hot water demands, and reducing emissions from electricity and gas. A 100kW Quartet system will have an ROI between 3-4 years.
