Domestic emergency advanced generator

Objective

DEMAG intends to investigate the indoor domestic application of advanced hydrogen technologies to life saving emergency energy generators, and deliver an Emergency Power Supply, rated 10 kWh, based on the integration of a PEM fuel cell with ultracapacitors and with a metal hydrates container for hydrogen storage: the FC is expected to provide a basic power output, whereas ultracapacitors can supply temporary peak loads. The system will be designed to provide the best retrofit potential. An in depth safety assessment will be performed to support the integration of hydrogen based devices in domestic environments.
