ELECTRIC POWER FROM METHANOL FUEL CELLS

TROPICAL S.A. presents the all new methanol fuel cell power system which reforms methanol into hydrogen and produces electric power DC or AC depending on the type of application. It is a plug & play power generator with power of 1kW , 2,5kW and 5kW at 24V or 48V / DC ( other voltages on request ) . Optional : AC voltage 110 – 230V or 3phase . TROPICAL developed a compact and outdoor rated Methanol Fuel Cell System as an extended power back up system, specially designed for the telecommunications sector and for the niche markets. Operating on a blend of methanol and water, which can easily being mixed and used as fuel, it provides more power to hybrid systems that include photovoltaic panels, batteries and / or wind turbines. It is a clean and reliable system providing thus reliable power for several applications.

APPLICATIONS Telecom , Medical , Local Aerea Networks , Ebusiness , Industrial Processes , Servers , Cash Registers, Traffic , Security . Methanol fuel cell systems are designed to be integrated with PV, wind and grid power to augment batteries in the following applications: • Highway Signaling and Communications • Railway Signaling and Communications • Surveillance, Sensing, Pumping, SCADA. • Reliable Grid Backup and Hybridization with PV & Wind Systems

METHANOL FUEL CELLS Methanol fuel cells has higher price than hydrogen fuel cell because we need a reformer that uses methanol in order to produce hydrogen and then the fuel cell use the hydrogen in order to produce electric power. That’s why the price for methanol fuel cells is higher. Methanol is liquid (without pressure) and can be easily stored and transported to the telecom station.

TROPICAL FUEL CELL SYSTEMS FOR TELECOM APPLICATIONS Introduction Backup power systems are used to power electronic systems during grid power outages. Telecom companies, as well as Utilities and Railways need to be able to rely on their backup systems. Until now battery packs in combination with diesel generators have been the most common solution to bridge temporary grid failures. As technology is progressing and matures, better alternatives, designed and developed by Tropical, like it's PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) Fuel Cell powered backup systems, with suitableas well as modular power outputs (of 1kW, 2.5kW, 5kW, 10kW) for telecom applications. Specifically designed for all these applications, Tropical suggests 3 backup power solutions for telecom networks using fuel cell technology: 1.

FC-W system : Energy from R.E.S. for telecom backup The system includes an electrolyser for on-site production of Hydrogen, directly from renewables, using filtered rainwater. There is no limit on how much hydrogen you can produce and store, so all the renewable energy produced can be fully optimized, as opposed to batteries, which are fully charged in about 3 hours and the energy produced thereon is lost. A Fuel Cell Power Generator is also included into the system.

FC-H system : Energy from compressed Hydrogen for telecom backup The system includes a fuel cell power generator with one or more hydrogen storage tanks. Fuel cell installations are typically fueled by a six-pack of compressed hydrogen storage tanks. These containers each hold either 4000lt or 7500lt of hydrogen at a pressure of 200 bar. They have the combined capacity to power a fuel cell from 25 up to 100 hours.

FC-M system : Energy from Methanol for telecom backup The system includes, a mixture of methanol-water storage tank with standard capacity, a fuel reformer that produces the hydrogen and a fuel cell power generator.

Other applications were Tropical's back-up systems can be used, include : Wireless Telecommunications 3G & 4G wireless, WiMax, Remote radio heads, Backhaul applications â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Microwave & Fiber

Off-grid Applications Radio/Repeater Sites, Microwave Communications, Highway Alert Radio & Weather Information Systems and more

Wireline Telecommunications FTTx, Broadband DLC

Government Communications Radio repeaters, flight guidance, disaster response, surveillance & security, microwave communications Transportation Network Communications Railroad signaling, Traffic signage & signaling

Replacing Diesel Generators with Fuel Cells (Differences) PEM fuel cells are fueled directly or through a reformer by hydrogen, operate at low temperatures, are smaller than other type of fuel cells, and have a short warm-up time. Most PEM fuel cells have integral batteries or a buffer battery bank or ultra capacitors to provide immediate power. Fuel Cells for Backup Power in Telecommunications Facilities are providing a constant & reliable electric power supply with minimal maintenance costs.

Why are fuel cells the best backup power? Fuel cells are energy-conversion devices that can efficiently capture and use the energy-carrying capacity of hydrogen to power nearly every end-use energy need. Energy uses include portable devices, transportation vehicles, and stationary power stations, such as those used for the telecommunications industry. Fuel cells are more effective than batteries for backup power because they last longer and are more predictable. Even though batteries have a five-year life expectancy, their capacity diminishes with time, and they can be ruined if their charge is drawn too often. Fuel cells, however, can operate for ten years or more with undiminished power quality and quantity. Compared with generators, fuels cells are cleaner, quieter, pollute less and require little on-site maintenance. Fuel cells are environmentally friendly because they convert the chemical energy in hydrogen directly to electricity with pure water and heat as the only by-products. Other advantages of fuel cells for backup power include:     

Operating efficiencies >50% Scalable and modular to operate in parallel Wider operating temperature range (-5°C to 40°C) Indoor or outdoor use with a minimal footprint Longer life with no moving parts

How do fuel cell power plants operate? Telecommunication installations with backup fuel cell power often incorporate fuel cells and batteries. As the system voltage changes, rectifiers or controllers switch between the primary power source and the backup power sources. In the absence of grid power due to disruption or another primary alternating current (AC) power source, the fuel cells, or a combination of fuel cells and batteries, provide direct current (DC) power to run the equipment and charge the batteries (bridge power). When the primary power source is restored, the fuel cells shut down, and the load is returned to the primary source. When the hydrogen or methanol fuel supply in a fuel cell is low, a self-checking alarm remotely alerts the operator to replenish or fill in the storage tanks.

Do fuel cell power plants require maintenance? Fuel cells used for telecommunications backup power require less maintenance than batteries or generators, but they do require periodic maintenance. Tropical maintain fuel cell backup power systems annually. The fuel cell power plant performs self-maintenance, and Tropical can configure the units to run unattended conditioning cycles to ensure operability. The whole system can be monitored and checked thru an Ethernet port.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW - HOW IT WORKS Installing NG series FC Systems at you home or business is a quick & easy task. You simply connect the fuel cell system to your fuel supply (natural gas, LPG, Biogas, Methanol), add the deionized water supply, connect it to your space heating system and to your building’s electricity board and you are ready. The system will then use the supplied fuel to generate Hydrogen which is then used to feed the hydrogen fuel cell system. The fuel cell’s electro-chemical process that combines the hydrogen molecules with oxygen, will generate from 1.2kW up to 5.6kW of electricity power as well as 1.8kW up to 6kW of useful thermal energy to heat water (for space heating and domestic use with the aid of a water heat exchanger). When used for both electricity and heating, the NG series FC System will operate at over 93% efficiency and will yield significant energy costs reductions to your monthly bills. Furthermore, you can easily connect it with your solar photovoltaics and/or wind generators compromising a RES hybrid power system, friendly to the environment.

TOUCH SCREEN & MEASUREMENTS The NG Series reformate fuel cell power systems are being controlled by an intelligent controller which is operated by a 16-colored touch screen monitor. The management of the system is easily done through the touch screen monitor and although the system is fully automated, the user has the option to change which ever parameter likes followed by a 4-digit password. Moreover, data acquisition of the parameters can be saved on an excel file (SD memory card) and can be changed.
