โฆ Synopsis
Ballard to demo backup power applications
T he Government of Canada is coop- erating with Ballard Power Systems to demonstrate three applications of fuel cells for backup power, under its h2 Early Adopters (h2EA) Program. The program will provide half of the C$4m (US$3.2m) funding for the demonstration, with the balance coming from the program participants.
The demonstration will involve projects to demonstrate Ballard fuel cell technology for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and backup power applications for the power generation market. Ballard will lead the program with support and participation by MGE UPS Systems, Bell Canada Holdings, Emerson Network Power Canada, Praxair Distribution and the University of Toronto at Mississauga. Real-world applications are key to identifying and facilitating the development of the necessary codes & standards to commercialize fuel cell and hydrogen technology, such as siting and permit requirements.
Ballard's Nexa ยฎ RM Series modules will be featured in three distinct generator applications:
