  1. Belenos Clean Power Holding Ltd.Belenos activities in the field of green energy and its storageE. Varkaraki, U. Hannesen, A. Closset 7th International Scientific Conference on Energy and Climate Change – Green Economy 8-10 October 2014, KEPA, UOA, Athens, Greece

  2. Introduction 2007: Belenos Clean Power Holding was founded by N.G. Hayek to develop a sustainable energy chain starting from solar energy Prestigious partners were associated to the project: Swatch Group Ltd, Hayek Engineering, Deutsche Bank, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, Paul ScherrerInstitut, Ammann-Group, Group E and actor George Clooney Since 2008: Development of a unique FC system running on Hydrogen and pure Oxygen in partnership with the Paul-Scherrer-Institute (PSI) Since 2011: Development of Hydrogen/Air FC system for mobile applications. Redesign of H2/O2 FC system for stationary applications Since 2012: Development of a PEM electrolyser for the production of hydrogen fuel from water and renewable energy

  3. The Belenos Clean Energy Chain PV Panels 2 PV Surface: 70 m DC/ A C Annual Mobility: 15’000 km H2O Electrolysis c G r id M FC Battery H2 O2

  4. Swiss Hydrogen Power Belenos Clean Power Holding Ltd. JV I Swiss HydrogenPower Ltd. JV II Swiss Fuel Cell JV III Swiss Photovoltaic JV IV Swiss Battery JV V Belenos Engineering

  5. Swiss Hydrogen Power Developing electrolyser stack and system for hydrogen and oxygen production H2 production with electrolyser, compression and refueling Tests at Belenos facilities

  6. Prototype SHP Electrolyser • Fully developed “in-house” • Good performance, stable operation, on-going durability tests • Simple construction, compact, robust • 5 kW prototype to be installed at the EPFL before end 2014

  10. Fuel Cell mobility tests

  11. Belenos Fuel Cell System • Proprietary design of fuel cell stack and FC system • Development of low cost PEM membrane with excellent durability in collaboration with PSI • Bipolar plate development with leading supplier for stationary FC systems • Integrated system components for improved performance and reduced cost • Production capacity for 1MW/month available

  12. Advantages H2/O2 FC over H2/Air FC Higher systemefficiency • 60 .. 70% with H2/O2 vs. 45 .. 55% with H2/Air Significantly lower cost • Power density (W/cm2 active area) is twice as high at same efficiency • 80% of FC cost is active area cost (bipolar plates and MEA) Better reliability • Very simple system • Very few moving parts Fast start-up • Full power achievable within a few seconds • No startup-time and -energy for air compressor required Independent from ambient air conditions • Operation at high altitudes possible • Operation at any ambient temperature and humidity possible • No degradation due to air pollution

  13. FC system efficiency Belenos H2/O2 FC System efficiency compared to Hydrogenics HyPM HD 16, one of the most efficient systems on the market This performance can be reached due to a very high cell efficiency and extremely low parasitic losses (U/I curve measured with 6 cell stack with 200 cm2 active area at 3.5 barabs and 75 °C)

  14. Hybrid - fuel cell/battery - EV • The fuel cell system doubles the range of the vehicle. • The fuel cell could also drive the vehicle when the HV battery is empty (with limited power).

  15. Electric FIAT 500 with FC range extender • Fuel Cell (FC) system information: • Emissions = 0 • Electric power/peak = 20/60 kW • Battery capacity = 26 kWh • Battery weight = 210 kg • Hydrogen capacity = 1.7 kg • Fuel Cell power = 10 kW • Battery driving range = 200 km • H2 driving range = 200 km • Total Range = 400 km • Curb Weight = 1300 kg • Number of seats = 4 Batteries H2 tank & security system control Drive train, power electronics and Fuel Cell

  16. Test drive : Top range record Date & Time: 20 Oct., 2013 Distance: 425km Battery used: 100% Test Driver: M. Vögeli Max Speed: 110km/h Hydrogen used: 97% Avg Speed: 73km/h Vehicle speed (km/h) Battery SOC (%) H2 Fill level (%)

  17. FIAT 500 Statistics

  18. O2 storage PV-H2 integration in micro-grids Belenos Integrated H2 system for long term energy storage 3 kW PEM fuel cell (1000h/y operation) 10 kW PEM electrolyser(<1000h/y operation) 80 m3 H2 tank at 30 bar (2000 Nm3) 40 m3 O2 tank at 30 bar (1000 Nm3) PV panels Local grid O2 H2 H2O H2 H2 storage Fuel Cell PEM Electrolyzer Fuel Cell Boat Compressor + car option 15 kW electrolyser 350-700 bar storage Heat recovery option for co-generation!
