Stationary power can be divided into three areas: primary, peak and back-up power. Primary power
being where the fuel cell runs your site independently or connected to the grid. Peak power helps
you compensate for lack of power at times of high demand. Back-up power is where the fuel cell
system steps in to keep your operation going when there is a power failure.
Primary power
When you want to be more self-sufficient, to secure electricity access or simply work in places where
there is no grid, you need your own power source. It could be that you want to decrease your grid
dependency, lower grid costs or to set up temporary operations at an inaccessible spot.
Peak power
At times when the energy demand on the grid peaks, you will want to ensure that you have access to
the power you need. A hydrogen fuel cell can either eliminate or complement other energy sources,
such as batteries, to do the job. As a bonus, it will cut costs when energy prices rise as the
demand increases.
Back-up power
With the rise of digitization, back-up power has become increasingly important. It has been customary
to use diesel generators that start up when there is a power failure. A hydrogen fuel cell can
always be online, which makes it more dependable and your power supply system more robust.
