DESCRIPTION OF FUEL CELL PRODUCTS
HEAG Südhessische Energie AG (HSE) is a modern, sustainable utility company. The company strategy therefore focuses on production, sales and research. HSE is investing 400 mill. EUR in the construction of renewable power plants. As measured by a turnover of 1.2 bill. EUR (2008), that is a peak value in the industry. HSE’s subsidiary ENTEGA belongs to the leading suppliers of green electricity in Germany and the company sells this nationwide. HSE also founded the NATURpur Institute for Climatic and Environmental Protection which is supporting research projects in climate protection and efficient energy use.
Since 1990 HEAG Südhessische Energie AG (HSE) has been demonstrating its great commitment to the use and testing of fuel cell systems. In this way, HEAG Versorgungs AG, as one of predecessors to HSE, was already operating a 200 kW PC25A fuel cell combined heat and power plant from the American ONSI Corporation for demonstration and research purposes between 1993 and 1998. Within the framework of pilot and demonstration projects in Darmstadt and Heppenheim, the feasibility of using HXS 1000 PREMIERE fuel cell heaters by Sulzer Hexis in the home was tested. The first system was operated in Heppenheim from February 2004 to March 2007. One year later the second fuel cell system arrived in Darmstadt. It produced electricity and heat for an apartment building belonging to Bauverein AG from January 2005 to July 2007. The two projects cost around 290,000 EUR over their lifetime of three years. Of this, about 136,000 EUR were funded by the Hessian Ministry of Economics, Transport, Urban and Regional Development, while HSE contributed the balance. The projects received scientific back-up from Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences and the HSE subsidiary NATURpur Energie AG. Advantages of the fuel cell system: > decentralised generation of electricity and heat (combined heat and power) > high electrical efficiency > high overall efficiency > contribution to reducing CO2 > quiet operation Objectives of the pilot fuel cell projects: > testing their suitability for use in detached homes and apartment buildings > recording of the electrical operating performance of the fuel cell Performance data of the fuel cell systems: > electrical output: 1 kW > thermal output of the fuel cell: 2.5 kW > thermal output of the auxiliary burner: 22 kW > electrical efficiency: 25–30% (target > 30%) > fuel cell type: SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell)
