APC Fuel Cell Solution for Extended Run Time UPS

Abstract: Fuel cell technology is now a viable alternative to generators and extended-run batteries, allowing IT and facility managers more flexibility in the specification, installation, and operation of critical facilities and avoids environmental issues of other sources. This paper briefly explains the use of fuel cell technology in extended runtime applications. A specific fuel cell based extended runtime system has been developed and the paper describes the major system constituents. Substantial size reductions (in… Show more

“…To a long-term demand with large power capacities of UPS, hydrogen systems appear as strong contenders to replace batteries, especially in grid-connected applications where reliable power supply with good quality is required, because an interruptions could last long time, e.g. over 8 hours [5,6]. However, compared with the fuel cells, lead-acid rechargeable batteries have rapid transient response with little warm up or start up time, and their specific power capability is also much higher than that of fuel cells [7].…”
