SKye's Blog. Frequently Asked Questions. BlueGen® is the world’s most efficient small-scale electricity generator.
About the size of washing machine, it uses ceramic fuel cells to convert natural gas into power and heat for your home or business. With BlueGen you can: Produce more than enough electricity to power an average home over the course of a yearGenerate heat that makes up to 200 litres of hot water a day - enough to meet the daily hot water needs of the average homeGenerate electricity more efficiently than your local power grid – depending on your state or territory, you can save up to 14.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year Electricity How much power does it make?
BlueGen operates constantly, generating power 24/7 all year-round, regardless of weather. Who will buy back exported power? You will need an agreement with an energy retailer to buy back the power that BlueGen exports to the grid. Can I adjust the power output of BlueGen? Can BlueGen be used off-grid? No. Heat and Hot Water How do I recover heat from BlueGen? Yes. Kyocera Presents Home Energy Management System. 29 Mar 2012 Technology group and solar energy pioneer Kyocera has developed a new energy solution for the generation and storage of solar energy and heat.
The concept combines photovoltaics with a lithium-ion battery, as well as a fuel cell and an intelligent energy management system (EMS). In a home, solar power produced by PV panels on the roof can be stored by means of a lithium-ion battery and used at any time, regardless of sunlight. A cogeneration fuel cell is also installed in the home to produce electricity and heat from natural gas.
The electricity can be stored in the battery whereas the heat is used directly for hot water and to support space heating. Kyocera developed the fuel cell in cooperation with Osaka Gas, Aisin, Chofu and Toyota. Kyocera will present the system at Intersolar Europe in Munich in June. Reference: Kyocera. Ceramic Fuel Cells’ BlueGen is Star Performer in Sydney’s ‘Smart Home’ 06 Feb 2012 Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited has announced that its BlueGen fuel cell system has exceeded expectations at the Ausgrid 'Smart Home' in Sydney, Australia.
During the first eighteen months of its operation, the gas-to-electricity system generated twice as much electricity as needed by the home. Ausgrid’s energy efficiency expert Paul Myors said an analysis of energy use and generation at the smart home showed it was producing enough electricity to power two average households, but with 65% less greenhouse gas emission. This despite the fact that the family living at the Smart Home charged the home’s car – a new Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric vehicle – around eight times per month and drove it for more than 5,000 km, adding an average 2.5 kWh a day to the home’s electricity use.
Myors likened the Smart Home to a ‘fully functioning power station’. The 1.5 kW BlueGen unit produced an average of 28 kWh per day and saved 6,950 kg of carbon dioxide over a year. Www.cfcl.com.au.
