Nine communities in the US state of Connecticut will share $18m as part of a microgrid project designed to maintain critical buildings during electric grid outages often caused by severe weather.
The town of Woodbridge, New Haven is one community to take part and will receive $3m to create a microgrid using a 1.6 megawatt natural gas-powered turbine and a 400-kilowatt fuel cell that will be used to keep power on for the community’s police and fire stations, Department of Public Works, Town Hall and Amity Regional High School during electric outages. Microgrids function like small versions of state and regional power grids, but would only operate when power is lost.

One other project receiving funding is a microgrid for the Naval Submarine Base in Groton, which will get $3m for a 5 MW cogeneration turbine and for a 1.5 megawatt diesel turbine.
Gov. Dannel Malloy announced the awards as part of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s Microgrid Pilot Program, which is designed to develop innovative ways to keep critical buildings powered during electric grid outages.
“These projects will help protect residents and vital public services even when the power goes out, and in doing so allow us to provide critical services during times of emergency.
“Over the next two years, I’ve recommended an additional $30m in funding for the state’s microgrid program to strengthen more Connecticut communities.”
The nine projects awarded the funding include microgrids for municipal buildings as well as to power parts of college campuses at Wesleyan University, the University of Connecticut and the University of Hartford.

Forest debris_170SQUS energy company NRG Energy is planning to invest over $100m to turn its Connecticut power plant into a solar energy farm, fuel cell plant and biomass generator.
Plans for the Montville Station went to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), which is looking to add 175MW of renewable energy to the state’s portfolio, and set a deadline of Monday for proposals. Successful applicants should be selected in the next few weeks.
The ‘renewable energy park’ project would include 5.6MW of natural gas-fired fuel cell generation, 2.3MW of solar capacity and 42MW from a biomass generation unit, converted from an existing oil-fired generator.
Local would from forests in Eastern Connecticut could be used to power the biomass unit.
In 2011, NRG approached DEEP about converting one of its generating units into a wood-burning biomass unit, but plans fell through due to a lack of interest from the department.
Construction of the facility could begin late this year, if selected by DEEP, creating 300 construction jobs. It is projected to be completed in 2016.
NRG Montville project manager Jon Baylor said, ‘We believe we’ll be competitive on price and very competitive on the economic benefits for Connecticut.’
Over half of the $100m figure would be financed through loans. A Connecticut group of municipal utilities has indicated it may be interested in buying electricity produced following conversion.

From the July 2013 issue of Today’s Facility Manager
When deciding how to best meet the power and thermal energy needs of their organizations, facility managers (fms) consider a range of priorities, including cost, safety, reliability, and environmental stewardship. In recent years a new option has become available in the form of clean and highly efficient on-site heat and power generation from fuel cell power plant systems. Stationary fuel cell power plants can address these priorities economically.
Fuel cells have been in development for many years, and fms may be aware of these as something used in the space program, or under development for vehicles, requiring pure hydrogen as fuel. But systems that use clean natural gas or renewable biogas fuel are now commercially available and deployed in stationary power and heat applications around the world.
What makes fuel cells distinct as a power source is they extract energy from fuel without burning it. Instead, the fuel is used in an “electrochemical” reaction, similar to the reactions that consume zinc or cadmium in common batteries. The difference is that when the battery reactants are consumed they are discarded, or the battery is recharged. Fuel cell reactants are continuously fed to the fuel cell, which makes power as long as fuel and air are supplied. The easiest fuel to react electrochemically is hydrogen. Today, fuel cell power plants are able to extract hydrogen from natural gas or biogas—making them viable wherever natural gas or biogas is available.
The electrochemical conversion process has several advantages over combustion. Since there is no flame, many of the harmful pollutants created by burning fuel are not created. Also, fuel cells create electricity directly from the fuel, at higher efficiencies than mechanical systems that require multiple energy conversion steps. And the absence of rotating mechanical components makes fuel cells inherently quiet.
Fuel cell technologies are characterized by the electrolyte used to separate the fuel and air electrodes, and several types are commercially available for on-site combined heat and power (CHP).
One of these, the carbonate fuel cell, offers distinct advantages. First, they operate at about 1000°F, and the high temperature promotes high electrical efficiency; when used for CHP, carbonate fuel cells can approach 90% efficiency. Furthermore, for CHP, the heat can be fed back into on-site heat and hot water systems, absorption chilling systems for facility cooling, or be sold off to neighboring facilities. And finally, fuel cells also provide fuel flexibility; the process of extracting hydrogen from natural gas or biogas (called “reforming”) occurs directly in the fuel cell stack. Carbonate fuel cells can use either as fuel almost interchangeably.
The photo below shows a typical on-site CHP application of a carbonate fuel cell power plant. Rated at 1.4 megawatts, this plant operates at California State University’s East Bay campus near San Francisco. The fuel stack module contains four fuel cell stacks, each with about 400 cells. Direct current power from the stack module is sent to the power conversion system, which produces alternating current power at the correct grid voltage and frequency. Mechanical equipment (air blowers and heat exchangers) is on a skid behind power conversion equipment. The system exhaust is directed to a waste heat recovery system, which produces hot water from heat left over from the fuel cell.

In the 10 years since commercial carbonate fuel cell power plants first became available, the cost has reduced more than 60%. Currently more than 80 of these plants are installed at over 50 sites around the world. The largest single facility is a 59 MW system being installed in South Korea with full power production anticipated by the end of 2013 or early 2014.

Ich persönlich lasse meine aktien hier ein paar monate oder jahre wachsen.
In der ruhe liegt die kraft nur geduld das hier ist die Zukunft,mit dieser aktie kannst du reich werden .
Meine meinung!!
und es ist wahrlich nicht schön, täglich 1-2$/ct abgeben zu müssen. Aber ich sehe es wie mein Vorredner - in der Ruhe liegt die Kraft. Nur nicht ohne Not verkaufen, sondern warten und reifen lassen. Der Markt kommt und wächst. Das beste Beispiel ist Tesla und so ähnlich wird es für FuelCell auch eines Tages aussehen. Vielleicht nicht in diesem Jahr aber ich rechne mit einem signifikanten Anstieg auf jeden Fall in 2014.
Ich bin mit meinen 40k derzeit im roten Bereich aber ich habe nicht die geringste Sorge deswegen. Ein Grundstück, dass im Wert sinkt, verkaufe ich auch nicht sofort, sondern ich weiß, dass der Tag der Wertsteigerung kommen wird - kommen muß.
FuelCell ist absolut breit aufgestellt, ist gut international vernetzt und besitzt etliche Alleinstellungsmerkmale. Es ist die einzige Firma, die derzeit Brennstoffzellenkraftwerke im MW-bereich bauen kann. Es ist die einzige Technologie, mit der sich durch Brennstoffzellen Co2 Verbindungen binden lassen und sie sind auch gut im Bereich "power-to-gas". Das ungeheure Volumen an Gasförderung in den USA schreit geradezu nach dezentralen Stromerzeugern - auch dafür ist FuelCell prädestiniert. Die bereits begonne Verbindung mit Chevron verspricht nur Gutes.
Ergo - keine Sorge - vielleicht mal einige Tage nicht das Depot anschauen und entspannen...;-)))
Also nur keine Panik das wird schon, man braucht nur etwas Gedult.
