  • Short-term energy storage: adaptable flexibility
    Energy storage options can be segmented by the length of storage that they offer. Long-term storage such as hydro reservoirs may store energy for many months and have an important impact on the overall energy budget, while small-time storage such as capacitors can help avoid flickering of the light when net companies switch between different electricity suppliers. In this article Bent Sørensen assesses a selection of short-term energy storage devices and their fields of application.
  • Heliocentris autonomous power supply solution for Bahrain oil company
    Heliocentris Fuel Cells, a German-based specialist in clean energy storage solutions, has received two more orders for the supply of autonomous fuel cell power supply solutions. The clients are the oil company Bahrain Petroleum in Bahrain, and an unidentified German university.
  • Heliocentris wins order for autonomous fuel cell power supply solution
    German-based Heliocentris Fuel Cells, a leading system integrator for PEM fuel cells, has won a major order for the delivery of an autonomous power supply solution to the University of Applied Sciences Wildau, near Berlin. The fuel cell power supply will be used to supply energy to selected applications in a building, and will serve as a link between training and applied research. The project has a total value of nearly €500 000.
  • Denmark continues its renewable tradition
    Denmark is proud of its heritage when it comes to pushing forward the use of alternative energy solutions, and is all set to host the make or break un climate change conference (COP 15) in 2009. renewable energy focus assistant editor Kari Larsen saw some of the Danish projects for herself.
  • Using energy storage for intermittency problems
    The intermittency of renewables is forcing energy providers to look at ways to store energy – as a way to guarantee stable supply. Bent Sørensen from Roskilde University in Denmark looks at a classic case of energy storage – vehicles that use batteries and fuel cells.

Heliocentris wins further photovoltaic-fuel cell system order in the Gulf

01 March 2010

German-based Heliocentris Fuel Cells is to supply an autonomous fuel cell power supply solution to the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAEET), a leading training center in Kuwait.

Heliocentris will supply a PAEET laboratory with a fully integrated energy solution consisting of photovoltaic (PV) modules, a wind generator, an electrolyzer, and a fuel cell system as well as the associated energy storage management solution.

This will make the storage of energy from renewable sources, and the use of such energy in an integrated energy supply concept, a reality. In this way, PAEET is making a fully integrated renewable energy system available to its students.

‘This order from Kuwait is a further project for us in the Middle East, following the order we just recently received from an oil company in Bahrain,’ says Dr András Gosztonyi, CFO of Heliocentris.

In December, Heliocentris received an order from the Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) to supply a complete system, including a PV module and a wind power plant, for a building.

Heliocentris Fuel Cells supplies clean energy storage solutions based on a ‘smart’ combination of batteries, fuel cells, and energy management. Such systems serve mobile and stationary applications that require longer ranges than batteries can currently provide.
