PM HyCabinet - Power Supply (UPS) System

Typical areas of application:

• hydrogen-based energy storage systems
• supply of critical infrastructure e.g. data centers
• industry and data centers
• Self-sufficient energy supply

In addition, many other applications can be realized in which an efficient and environmentally friendly energy supply is required.

The Proton Motor solution:
With the HyCabinet, Proton Motor offers more than a normal emergency power generator. The indoor/outdoor cabinet solution is available in several sizes and can also be individually adapted to specific customer requirements in a variety of performance classes. Depending on the application, the heart of the system is one or more fuel cell modules from Proton Motor.

By integrating and operating several modules in staggered or parallel operation, a HyCabinet can be designed and adapted for common industrial applications. A UPS system is usually integrated as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to bridge the first few seconds. The long-term supply is then ensured by the fuel cell systems. The bridging times that can be achieved in this way are only limited by the size of the hydrogen supply.

A power grid failure, even in the millisecond range, usually leads to major disruption or damage. In critical applications, this can have catastrophic consequences. Therefore, the emergency power supply must be 100 percent reliable in these cases in particular. Fuel cell-based solutions such as the HyCabinet offer this reliability. In addition to the very high level of reliability, the low maintenance costs of the fuel cell systems compared to conventional diesel and/or battery technology speak in favor of using Proton Motor systems as emergency power/back-up power or emergency power systems.
