Portable Hybrid Power Source is a promising concept to temporary generate electric energy in any off grid remote contest, providing continuously peak and constant power without external fuel, thermal signature and noise.
GENPORT offers a portable water-proof hybrid 1000 Watt power source, based on a retractable photovoltaic primary source of energy, integrated with a PEM fuel cell and a PEM electrolyzer.
The result is an innovative system for rapid deployment with enough power capacity to fulfill the demand of small loads as tactical communication systems.
GenPort 300 Hybrid PEM Solar is also suitable as APU for small yacht allowing ocean navigation as well as to temporary power emergency electromedical devices, in an area devastated by natural disaster.
There are many possible configuration of the energy flow among the primary PV energy generator, the PEMFC, the PEM electrolyzer and the load.
When the daylight is available, the retractable PV panel powers directly the load and exceeding energy charges the battery pack or is utilized to power the PEM electrolyzer to convert and storage additional energy in hydrogen; if the adsorption of energy exceeds the capacity of the expandable PV panel or in case of a power failure, the battery pack and the PEMFC can dynamically contribute to strike an energy balance with also the eventual contribution of an external hydrogen source (GenFuel).
