Executive Summary of Tech Talk Script:

During this Hyfindr Tech Talks, Steven welcomes Manfred to discuss fuel cell backup power systems. Manfred, an experienced engineer from Proton Motor, introduced their top-selling fuel cell system, the high module S8. This Hyfindr Tech Talk explains how backup power systems work and their applications in providing uninterrupted power during grid failures or in areas without grid access.

Backup power systems, also known as Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) or emergency power systems, can be categorized based on whether they provide power without any gap or with a gap during grid outages. The key challenge in fuel cell systems is regulating voltage since fuel cells produce unregulated voltage. To address this, a battery is coupled with the system to smooth out voltage fluctuations and provide initial power for startup.

Power electronics, media, and control are the three essential components of fuel cell backup power system. The power electronics handle voltage conversion and regulation, while media involves supplying hydrogen and air to the fuel cell. Control systems ensure the smooth operation and coordination of all components. The fuel cell systems can be air-cooled or liquid cooled. While air-cooled systems are suitable for lower power applications, liquid-cooled systems are preferred for higher power levels.

The fuel cells require periodic maintenance, but the frequency is significantly lower compared to diesel generators. Fuel cells have longer bridging times, produce lower emissions, and have a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over time.

Manfred shared images of containerized backup power systems, showcasing the integration of fuel cell stacks, batteries, converters, and cooling units. These systems can provide high power output and peak power supply from the battery. The fuel cell system can ramp up to full power in less than a minute and ensure stable power supply for extended periods.
