โฆ Synopsis
Japanese residential market. The companies also agreed to examine ways to expand the presence of these next-generation units both within and beyond Japan.
H Power has completed deliveries of the firstgeneration systems for alpha testing under a previously announced agreement between H Power, Mitsui (H Power's marketing partner in Japan) and Osaka Gas. Osaka Gas has been alpha testing an earlier version of the system since January. The next-generation system includes design improvements based on data and feedback from the alpha tests. H Power will deliver two units to Osaka Gas by the last quarter of 2002, with the remaining units being shipped by the first quarter of 2003.
The 500 We system combines H Power's proprietary fuel cell stack with Osaka Gas' proprietary steam reformer. The system provides primary power and hot water for a residence, and can provide power at either 250 or 500 We. In addition to operating at a constant output, it can also function in a load-following mode, in which the unit reacts continuously to changes in a residence's power and heating requirements. The unit is connected to the grid, and is capable of automatic startup and shutdown.
Meanwhile, H Power has recently consolidated its two New Jersey offices, and is now located at the address listed below.
