SFC Energy<\/a>\u00a0 provide ready-to-go mobile and static power plants for all kinds of interesting applications incorporating EFOY<\/a>\u00a0fuel cells.<\/p>\n

The Vikomobile<\/em>, for example, is a communication hub mounted into a standard vehicle trailer. It has been designed to provide surveillance; data-transmission; mobile broadband; satellite communications; mobile telephone; and\/or as part of secure\/military communication nodes.<\/p>\n

The Vikomobile can<\/em> be connected to the grid – in which circumstance, of course, it is able to provide itself with an uninterrupted power supply in case of grid failure. But these units are principally designed to provide their Rx\/Tx equipment either with a combination of solar power with fuel-cell generator back-up – or else they run on fuel-cells alone …with long maintenance intervals being possible where the power draw is relatively low, and more than one fuel cartridge is installed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is how a grid-connected installation with fuel-cell back-up might work:<\/p>\n

A Multiplus<\/a> charges the Lead\/Acid batteries<\/a> in normal circumstances. In the event of power failure, the Multiplus provides uninterrupted power to on-board services; and if the battery voltage falls below a pre-set level, the Multiplus automatically starts the generator – which in this case is the fuel-cell. \u00a0Fuel-cells are power generators …but not in the noisy diesel sense: At a distance of 7 metres EFOY claim their smaller fuel-cells have a noise level of 25 decibels – that’s a bit louder than the sound of rustling leaves. The exhaust is not too troublesome either – it is mainly Carbon Dioxide and Water. And these fuel-cells can ‘run’ for a very long time: Twin cartridge models (2 x 28 ltr) are able to meet a 25W demand for 15 weeks. Or where their role is to sit\u00a0in the background – waiting to automatically provide essential power on-demand, it’s handy to know that they have a shelf-life of several years. Another advantage to these fuel-cells is their small size which can be achieved because Methanol is a high energy-density fuel: SFC Energy say that with the maximum 4 x 60 litre cartridges fitted to single cell a total of 264kWh of power is available.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

EFOY’s direct methanol fuel-cell. This model delivers up to 500W – in operation it’s as ‘noisy’ as a Library.<\/p><\/div>\n

SFC Energy’s mobile and stationary installations have a supreme advantage over remote power units which rely on\u00a0PV panels<\/a>\u00a0alone for their power generation. By having fuel-cell back-up their units continue to operate normally when there is one of those inevitable periods of extended bad weather and the PV panels just cannot cope with daily demand.<\/p>\n

SFC Energy are particularly enthusiastic about how the Victron CCGX provides their units with a remote controlling ability – via VRM<\/a> – and also the way Victron equipment ‘drops in’ to the system without any compatibility issues. They also appreciate the fact that there is a Victron-module sized for every requirement, available off-the-shelf, with short lead times. And as SFC Energy are a leading provider of fuel-cell technology – with over 39,000 units sold – it’s great to be part of their success story!<\/p>\n
