Marine System 225, a compact (1,200 x 900 x 2,000mm) fuel cell system delivering 225kW of clean electric power with zero emissions, is the star attraction on the PowerCell Group booth (8070). Engineered for marine environments with high efficiency, low noise and easy installation, all while maintaining an industry-leading footprint, the scalable fuel cell system can deliver megawatt outputs. Weighing 1,000kg, it can operate at a wide range of inlet pressures.
During Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo, PowerCell confirmed the system was on track to obtain Lloyd’s Register type approval: “This is the next generation of our previous marine system, where we have increased the power output from 200kW to 225kW,” said Emilia Eråker, product quality manager, PowerCell Group. “We have done that through improved VOP components that enable us to pull even more electric power from the unit, and by revising component integration, with the air and the cooling compartments at the bottom, with all the electronics to operate the system on the side, to ensure easy access for troubleshooting, service and maintenance,” she continued.
“PowerCell has a proven record with an established customer base, including the recent launch of a mega-yacht here in the Netherlands, and we have a large system being installed on a vessel for another customer in the region, soon. By combining our systems together, customers can reach the megawatts they need for these types of ship. Meanwhile, marine type approval will also help to speed our progress, rather than just having specific vessel approvals. We’ve met some naval architects and some system integrators, who are the visitors we need to talk to.”
