Dynetek Industries Ltd. (Calgary, Canada) announced that two of its hydrogen storage systems are being demonstrated at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) in Toronto. Dynetek's lightweight storage systems are used in the Hydrogenics 50kW HySTAT Fuel Cell Stationary Generator/Hydrogen Refueler and in Deere and Company's (John Deere) technology demonstrator fuel-cell-powered commercial work vehicle (CWV) on display at the CNE.
The HySTAT will demonstrate "peak shaving" by supplying power to the National Trade Center during peak consumption periods. The 50kW generator is capable of providing enough power to meet the needs of 10 to 15 average Canadian homes. The HySTAT is fueled by natural gas that is reformed to hydrogen by an integrated fuel processor. The hydrogen is then stored in the Dynetek hydrogen storage system until it is consumed by the fuel cell power module or dispensed to a fuel cell vehicle.
Dynetek is also supplying its lightweight, hydrogen storage cylinders to the John Deere technology demonstrator fuel-cell-powered CWV that is being highlighted at the event. The vehicle will be on the exhibition grounds to demonstrate how fuel cell technology can deliver substantial benefits by providing quiet, zero-emissions power to vehicles. The John Deere vehicle is refueled at the HySTAT's refueling dispenser.
