Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Algona, IA - Hydrogen Engine Center, Inc. (HEC)
(HYEG.OB) is demonstrating the company’s Oxx Power™ 4+1™ hydrogen-fueled
generator system at an energy technology showcase at Hydrogenics Corporation
near Toronto, Ontario, Canada on April 5th. The HEC power generating system
is
part of an advanced “wind-hydrogen” energy project. Dr. Tapan Bose, President of
Hydrogen Engine Centre Canada, Inc. is hosting the workshop featuring recent
advances in wind-hydrogen power systems. At the event, HEC’s hydrogen-powered
Oxx Power 4+1™ generator system is generating electricity by using hydrogen as a
fuel. The HEC system will then be delivered to an HEC client, where it will
be
placed in service as part of a wind farm project in Newfoundland,
Canada.
HEC
views
this project as a key validation point within its strategic program to provide
advanced power generation solutions that are environmentally clean, economically
viable and highly scalable. By integrating HEC Oxx Power™ generator systems with
wind-sourced power, customers can bring on line a sustainable solution that
extends the capacity and value of wind energy, while reducing customers’
dependence on petroleum and gas burning technology.
Hydrogen
Engine Center, Inc.’s CEO, Ted Hollinger stated, “The deployment of our
near-zero emissions, hydrogen-fueled 4+1™ power generator system is an important
step toward the implementation of large scale development of reliable renewable
energy sources. Hydrogen Engine Center is working to deliver our environmentally
friendly power generating products to the rapidly expanding alternative fuel
wind power market today.”
During
windy conditions, hydrogen can be produced by water electrolysis. The economical
hydrogen fuel is then readily available to supply power to the grid, even when
the wind is not blowing. Dr. Tapan Bose added, “Our technology is designed to
help make wind power a more reliable, affordable and scalable power generating
solution and thereby expand the penetration of wind power in energy
markets.”
