Stick to AFC eh! seems you dislike the competition, must worry you SOFC vs Alkaline fuel cells it seems
Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited - Cashflow report for the June quarter 2-August-2013 http://www.brrmedia.com/event/112408/bob-kennett-chief-executive-officer Sounds like they are proceeding well, R&D new processes etc. Recruiting Sales teams in Germany and UK. Concentrating on SME'd direct and indirect network sales. Dealing with 20 Organisations in Germany alone. Capacity in excess of requirements for current year. Will double capacity shortly. 6 million pounds in cash at bank. Cheers DYOR
Good News here IMHO http://www.energy-company.nl/files/Article%20Maritiem%20LNG%20-%20BlueGen.pdf "Efficient generation of electricity from LNG with innovative Fuel cells. There is a need today, and in the future, for secure and highly efficient generation of electricity with significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. BlueGen® is the latest in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology to deliver highly efficient electricity. BlueGen® utilizes the latest Gennex™ fuel cell module that offers the highest levels electrical efficiency in the world: 60% net electrical efficiency. It produces more electricity from the same amount of fuel compared to traditional small scale electric generators. Furthermore BlueGen® requires modest space (600x660x1010mm). BlueGen® is fitted with an integrated heat exchanger to recover the heat from the fuel cell module. A separate water tank can be connected to the unit to increase the total system efficiency up to 85%. With the current trend in the Maritime industry to utilize LNG as a cleaner and more efficient fuel, producing your own efficient power with a fuel cell, fueled with pure methane from LNG, is a small and logical step. A Skipper and his family can produce enough electricity (13.000 kWh/ year) and hot tap-water ( 200 liter/day) with one BlueGen® connected to their own LNG supply. This means quiet and clean power in the Harbors without the need for expensive ‘’wal-stroom- contracts” or noisy diesel-generators. There are interesting investment possibilities utilizing the Dutch EIA, KIA and MIA arrangements." Would work well for also replacement for Diesel Generation on Oil Gas Rigs as I recall management are keen on this, sell some to Shell for a floating LNG project. Cheers Rg DYOR
Multiple sales to the Stadtwerke are likely IMHO, as this enables aggregation and Smart Grid enable participation in Grid Pools of 500MW refer to: http://www.focus.de/panorama/diverses/energie-trianel-zeigt-loesungen-fuer-die-vernetzung-und-steuerung-dezentraler-erzeugungsanlagen-auf-smarte-integration-erneuerbarer-energien-durch-virtuelle-kraftwerke_aid_912978.html TRANSLATION " Tuesday, Feb, 10:31 The intelligent control and networking of distributed generation facilities will be given the increasingly tense situation in the networks and the developments on the electricity markets is becoming increasingly important. The Stadtwerke cooperation Trianel shows ways through intelligent networking of virtual power plants renewable generation units to make interesting plants for the balancing energy market and to control them as needed. Since the beginning of the year, together with the direct marketing subsidiary GESY, Trianel operates a virtual power plant. About 40 wind farms with a total capacity of about 1,000 MW are integrated through various interfaces. Thus, GESY is among Germany's market leaders in this new segment. "The summary of the systems to a virtual power plant whose active powers are controlled and the data can be read online." Thus can these systems with negative prices are limited", explains Stefan Sewckow, head of business development production, Trianel GmbH. At the same time, the production forecast is optimized with the online measured active power. Balance circle deviations can be minimized so. For these remote installations, the plant operators about the management regulation receive increased compensation. Trianel pioneered here: the link and control with smart-metering technology has successfully tested the public utilities network in a pilot wind park. "We set up currently the different potentials of virtual power plants in three different applications", said Stefan Sewckow. The integration of distributed generation systems in a virtual power plant offers the possibility to offer smaller plants to the electricity markets and to benefit from the advantages of the short term markets. A second application of virtual power plants is the commercialization of the bundled power reserves in the secondary rule pool Trianel. This pool opens up the possibility to participate in the attractive secondary reserve market operators of distributed generation facilities. CHP can be merged so that their overall performance reached the required minimum quantity of 5 MW, to participate in the lucrative control energy markets. Interesting, this option only for CHP is with a capacity from 500 kW, since the necessary control technology for a virtual power plant otherwise not amortised. The proceeds from the marketing are divided into a partnership and transparent remuneration model. In the Trianel secondary rule pool many smaller potentials are grouped together and appear as a large, variable capaci
