摘要:
The present invention is a power system using a reformer/fuel cell arrangement as the primary source of DC power. The reformer is operated on either natural gas or propane. A backup source of power consumes hydrogen which is diffused from a solid medium. On an as-needed basis, the medium is reacted to release hydrogen gas which is consumed by a fuel cell to generate backup DC power. The system also includes Lithium-Metal-Polymer batteries which are used for both bridging and backup purposes.

Various embodiments of a fuel-control system and associated methods for regulating the administration of a fuel to a fuel consuming device are disclosed. In one aspect, the fuel consuming device is a gas turbine receiving fuel through a feeder conduit from first and second sources of gas. According to one method, natural gas fuel is delivered from said first and second sources into said surge tank via first and second conduits, each conduit having pressure-control valves and sensors. The natural gas is delivered to the turbine from the surge tank via a feeder conduit. Pressure measurements are taken by the sensors for the first and second conduits, which are sent to a controller. The controller is then used to manipulate the valves to supply the turbine with fuel.

A power system utilizes a fuel cell for DC output, which is inverted to power an air conditioner. The air conditioner is used for the purpose of cooling equipment in the facility in the event the primary source of AC power fails. The air conditioner is located so that it is devoted to one or more computing devices in the facility. The selected devices are ones which perform some critical function, e.g., emergency communications.

The present invention is an energy generating system which uses an advanced aqueous-electrolyte energy storage system in conjunction with a commercial available primary source of power and a backup fuel cell.
摘要:
The present invention is a mobile-energy generating system capable of providing redundant direct current power. It comprises a reciprocating engine and generator having dual fuel capability, a fuel cell, commercial electrical power hookups, and capacitors used for bridging purposes. Back-up fuel for the engine and fuel for the fuel cells are stored in propane and hydrogen storage tanks, respectively.
摘要:
The present invention is a mobile-energy generating system. It comprises a turbine, a fuel cell, commercial electrical power hookups, capacitors used for bridging purposes, and hydrogen-storage tanks. Pressurized hydrogen is maintained in the tanks using a hydrogen liberator which is optionally powered by a solar panel.
摘要:
The present invention is a fuel-control system for a turbine which includes a programmable logic controller. The controller manages utility and stored natural gas sources using a surge tank and pressure-control valve arrangement and is backed up by a hydrogen-powered fuel cell.

The present invention is an energy generating system for a telecommunications megasite which uses fuel cells and capacitors to backup a commercially available primary source of power.
摘要:
The present invention is a power system using a reformer/fuel cell arrangement as the primary source of power. The reformer is operated on either natural gas or propane. A backup source of power comprises a fuel cell which operates on stored hydrogen. The system also includes capacitors which are used to bridge when the system is transferred from the primary source to the backup source.
摘要:
The present invention is an energy generating system which uses Lithium Metal Polymer (LMP) batteries in conjunction with a microturbine, a fuel cell, and commercial electrical power. The LMPs provide uninterruptible power when one or more of the other power systems fail.
