AFC Energy, an industrial fuel cell power company, has successfully delivered gross electrical output in excess of 200kW at its KORE fuel cell power plant in Stade, Germany.
The UK-based company’s KORE system converts hydrogen (H2) into ‘clean’ electricity, for large-scale use in industrial applications.
In the trial, which concluded on 31st January, 200kW of power was produced from the fuel cell system and it was the first time all three tiers of the KORE fuel cell system operated in parallel with each other to successfully dispatch power into the German power grid.
The trials successfully demonstrated that the AFC fuel cells can exceed their name plate capacity of individual 10kW cartridges. Typically operating within the KORE against a design rating of 10kW per stack, this trial actually produced 83.3kW of power from a single tier, after previously producing 80kW.
