GenCell Rex – Utility Backup Power Solution
The Power Challenge
As electrical grids age and extreme weather events become more frequent, ensuring power resilience for always-connected businesses and consumers is increasingly critical. With thousands of reported outages and significant economic costs, the need for reliable backup power solutions has never been more evident.
GenCell REX™: Enhanced Backup Power with Extended Runtime
Powered by hydrogen, GenCell REX™ provides a robust utility backup power solution, producing 5kW of emission-free electricity for substations during outages of any duration. Here’s how it revolutionizes backup power:
- Extended Runtime: Unlike legacy backup battery systems that offer only 6-8 hours of electricity, GenCell REX™ provides continuous power to keep circuit breaker auto-reclosers operational until the grid recovers.
- Cost Savings: By eliminating the need for multiple battery rooms and avoiding the pollution and maintenance costs associated with diesel, GenCell REX™ offers significant cost savings over its lifecycle.
- Resilient Design: The solution includes a shelter enclosure resistant to high-voltage interference and earthquakes, ensuring the durability and reliability of all system components.
Key Features:
- 5kW Fuel Cell Generator: Efficiently produces electricity using hydrogen, ensuring reliable backup power for substations.
- Heat Utilization Unit: Dissipates excess heat generated during operation, optimizing system efficiency and reliability.
- Energy Bridge: Instantly generates electrical power and regulates output to match demand, ensuring uninterrupted power supply.
- Fuel Supply: Utilizes standard hydrogen cylinders for convenient and reliable fuel storage.
- Shelter Enclosure: Protects all system components from environmental elements, ensuring long-term durability and performance.
