Backup Power Solution Receives Seismic Compliance for Use at Substations

 

GenCell G5rx utility backup power solutions have been tested to meet the IEEE 693 seismic equipment standard for substations. The GenCell G5rx is the first secure, certified backup power solution in the fuel cell industry for deployment in utilities and other active seismic areas.

 

The GenCell G5rx solution offers an immediate injection of power that keeps circuit breaker autoreclosers operational until the grid recovers, allowing a quicker recovery of power distribution to end users. The GenCell solution can operate as a direct source of backup power or supplement legacy backup battery systems, extending battery life from six to eight hours up to 40 hours or more.

 

The GenCell G5rx solution overcomes the earthquake risks associated with traditional backup power sources, such as multiple battery rooms and diesel generators. Fueled by hydrogen, the clean energy of the future, the GenCell G5rx power solution produces no emissions, noise or vibrations, and includes a customized shelter that is resistant to high-voltage interference and earthquakes.

 

To pass the seismic tests, the GenCell G5rx utility backup power solution was subjected to a series of shake table tests at the Environmental Testing Laboratory (ETL) in Dallas, Texas. The GenCell G5rx solution was tested at 1.0 g performance level, equivalent to a ground level AC156 test with SDS of 2.5 g, which is the maximum seismic hazard in the US.

 

Rami Reshef, CEO of GenCell, said: "Although earthquakes can not be prevented, the damage is usually within our control." Even after the earthquake, the GenCell G5rx can still provide backup power for substations and critical points and help make public Businesses quickly recover thousands or millions of users without access to potable water, sanitation, food, and other basic services that require electricity.
