HEC pioneered the use of hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines in power generation equipment. These near-zero emissions electric power sources fulfill a role originally seen for fuel cells, but without their high acquisition costs.
Stranded power may be recovered through the use of hydrogen-fueled power generation systems. By converting unusable power to hydrogen via electrolysis, and using hydrogen as fuel during peak load periods, utilities can both recover power that would otherwise be lost and provide power to distribution-limited areas onsite. For example, when windy conditions cause wind turbines to produce electricity during off-peak times, the excess electricity can be stored, then applied back to the grid through the hydrogen-fueled power generation system.
Hydroelectric, wind, solar, and wave power shed their time-of-use limitations when combined with HEC hydrogen-fueled generators.
Industries generating excess hydrogen can improve the bottom line by reducing energy costs. Instead of flaring the hydrogen, they can turn it into electric power using HEC hydrogen-fueled generators.
We currently offer two classes of generators: a 50/60kW single generator (50/60 Hz) and a 208/250kW multi-generator set (4+1™). Their design permits parallel operation, increasing the available power into the Megawatt range. Details on both of these units are included in corresponding press releases under the News section of this website or by calling our corporate headquarters at 1-515-295-3178.
Preliminary data sheets are available. For information regarding our power generation systems capabilities and sales, please contact us via telephone 1-515-295-3178 or e-mail at sales@hydrogenenginecenter.com.
