AFC Energy, a leading provider of hydrogen power generation technologies, has achieved a significant milestone by successfully delivering its highest power rated 200kW H-Power Generator to date. This generator utilizes the latest generation S+ Series liquid cooled fuel cell technology, marking an important landmark for the Company.
The milestone marks the first operation of AFC Energy's 200kW S+ Series H-Power Generator, designed and developed in partnership with ABB e-Mobility. This achievement signifies the Company's entry into the high power class of generators, building on its market-leading offering in the light to medium duty generator class. The generator is engineered to unlock peak system efficiency, offering one of the lowest hydrogen fuel consumptions of any fuel cell generator in its power class in the market today.
Adam Bond, Chief Executive of AFC Energy, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "This is a significant milestone for AFC Energy reflecting two years of accelerated technology development and engineering works culminating in this successful first operation." He further highlighted the Company's unique position to offer a full range of power solutions from 10kW through to 500kW across its H-Power platforms, providing maximum choice when sizing generators for specific power needs.
The 200kW S+ Series H-Power Generator is now undergoing in-house operational testing in preparation for the Attestation of Conformity and CE marking certification process later this year. The platform is set to offer modularized 100kW to 500kW power ranges, complementing the existing S Series Generator platform offering 10kW to 50kW generators.
This achievement positions AFC Energy to access higher power class opportunities not previously available with the S Series Generator series, including applications in EV charging, construction, maritime, and data centers. The Company continues to progress its drive to offer a commercially and technically viable alternative off-grid power solution to diesel.
In conclusion, AFC Energy's successful generation of power from the 200kW S+ Series H-Power Generator represents a significant leap in the Company's technological capabilities, opening doors to a wider range of high-power class applications and solidifying its position as a key player in the hydrogen power generation industry.
