SatCon Technology Corp. (Cambridge, MA), a leader in power and energy management, announced that FuelCell Energy Inc. (FCE, Danbury, CT), a manufacturer of stationary fuel cell power plants for distributed power generation, has placed an order in excess of $900,000 for 300kW power conditioning units (PCUs) to be delivered in early 2004.
The PCUs enable new energy applications to be applied to critical power applications such as FuelCell Energy's Direct Fuel Cell® (DFC®) power plants. The power plants are used to generate clean, efficient and reliable electricity on-site at customer locations such as hospitals, schools, universities, hotels and other commercial and industrial facilities. Using SatCon's PCUs, Fuel Cell Energy's DFC power plants generate more electric power from less fuel and with less harmful emissions than traditional combustion methods of similar sizes.
