Dispatchable base load generators

BlueGen's® fuel cell technology provides energy utilities with a low emissions power source that delivers power constantly to the grid.  This technology also has the advantage of quickly increasing or decreasing electrical output in line with demand.  As BlueGen is not constrained by the thermal demand of the dwelling or installation, it’s an ideal form of low-carbon, dispatchable base load generation capacity.

Defer investment in T&D upgrades

Fuel cell technology offers a new and economically efficient way for energy utilities to expand their networks without large, up-front capital costs or substantial increases in carbon emissions.  Additional generation capacity can be incrementally added over time.  BlueGen can be purchased, installed and operated as needed, in line with increased demand.  This eliminates the need for large, up-front capital investment in central power plants, transmission lines and distribution networks.

Balances intermittent nature of renewable energy

With an increased focus on renewable energy, energy utilities must balance the intermittent nature of renewable energy (e.g. solar/wind) with the need to access a stable, continuous source of low emission electricity.  BlueGen fuel cells offer dispatchable, low-emission electricity that works in tandem with renewable energy, compensating when renewable production is low.

Enables Virtual Power Plants and Smart Grids

BlueGen is developed for today’s energy needs and tomorrow’s – especially as a key component of the Smart Grid. BlueGen provides a local source of electricity (perfect for micro-grids), with low-carbon emissions and flexible electrical output, managed remotely. Imagine a network of multiple BlueGen units with the ability to increase or decrease electrical output off-site, according to changes in demand during the day and night.That’s the future. That’s BlueGen.

The power source that suits you

Have a customer that uses 13,000 kWh per year?
Then operate BlueGen® at 1.5 kW constantly for maximum efficiency.

What about a customer who only consumes 8,600 kWh annually?
The same BlueGen can be configured to operate at 1.0 kW constantly.

Multiple BlueGens can be installed in a plant room for higher power demands.  One unit, many options, maximum flexibility – that’s BlueGen.

Create a renewable energy ‘system’

Renewable energy providers such as solar and wind are the most popular ‘new energy’ sources on the market today. Their main limitation is their intermittency of supply. 

What happens when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing?  BlueGen is highly controllable, so it’s perfect for integration with solar and wind energy sources to create a constant, dependable system.

Efficient, cost-saving and flexible

The BlueGen® power generator is designed to provide your home with electricity when you need it and save you money.  This flexible power source can continually produce electricity 24/7, depending on your household’s typical usage. 

Use less than 13,000 kilowatt-hours per year?  Simply turn BlueGen down to produce less electricity.
Even at low outputs, BlueGen delivers outstanding electrical efficiency compared to other small-scale generators.

Maximising your savings

BlueGen reduces your power bills by producing power more efficiently than the grid.  

For markets that offer feed-in tariffs for electricity generated from fuel cells, such as the UK and Germany, BlueGen creates enough electricity to power an average household.  It can also produce extra electricity, so you receive payment for every kilowatt-hour generated or exported back into the grid.  Contact a Distributor or Ceramic Fuel Cells Ltd. to find out more.
