[월간수소경제 성재경 기자] French hydrogen power solutions developer Genevos announced on January 27th that it has launched the HPM-80, an 80kW plug-and-play hydrogen fuel cell module for marine applications.
The HPM-80 says that fuel cell modules can be connected in parallel to achieve ME (megawatt) scale, which will reduce emissions to zero in energy-intensive applications such as passenger ships and offshore service vessels.
Genevos, which already has the 15 kW HPM-15 and 40 kW HPM-40 marine fuel cell families, will be able to provide a decarbonization solution for boats and ships with fuel cell propulsion systems up to 5 MW. .
Genevos is in the process of type approval with the first HPM-80 multi-stack system to be delivered this summer.
The HPM-80 weighs 330kg, which is only one-third the weight of an equivalent diesel generator, and is designed to minimize the overall weight and energy consumption of the vessel.
HPMs are connected in parallel to reach optimum ship power requirements, and each module is protected and controlled to provide independent power.
The HPM family integrates the high-durability ‘HD Series’ stack developed and tested for heavy-duty operation over the past 20 years by Cummins-Hydrogenic, and a corrosion-resistant carbon separator is applied inside.
