Key advantages of FCwaveTM-PowerGen for stationary systems
Low life cycle cost
The system offers a low total-cost-of ownership, achieved through product performance optimization, the usage of common components across different platforms as well as low maintenance requirements.
Flexible and modular solution
FCwaveTM is built in 200kW modules which facilitate scalable output and flexible integration. With an extremely compact footprint, 3 modules (600kW) in a skid with DC/DC conversion and up to 6 module (1.2MW DC) in a container with option of DC/AC conversion and batteries using only 5.5 M2 of floor space.
Safe operation
FCwaveTM is certified to stationary fuel cell power generator requirements as per EU, ATEX and CSA standards. The module also includes a secondary protection barrier, which separates ATEX Zone Class 2 zones from non-hazardous zones, therefore the installation room does not require a “Hazardous Zone” classification.
