30kW system installed on Helion site since December 2008

Secure high temperature electrolyzis test benches

Gaz storage = 4hours autonomy

• Datas:

• First containerized version

• New MEA generation ( improved performances and durability)

• System running time ~ 200h

• System start-up ~ 50

• No performances decrease

• In manufacture: 80 kW in a same volume

Conclusions

The systems match the customer’s specifications

Two PEMFC UPS systems developed by Helion are in service since 2006 and 2008

No IV curve degradation

The commercialization : The increase of fuel price is a favorable factor for the commercialization.

Today there is already a real market:

In telecom (fuel cells back-up power already installed in India)
