Description:              

AEA Technology is involved in the development of a number of key technologies that are required in fuel cell systems. This includes fuel reforming, fuel processing and conditioning, fuel storage, balance of plant technologies including CHP, power electronics and control, and interconnection of stationery fuel cells to the electricity network. The work undertaken spans both SOFC and PEM fuel cells. AEA Technology also acts as a systems integrator, working with companies that have developed fuel cell stacks to design/develop/build complete systems and run demonstration projects.

 

Products:                  

A range of products and services related to the key technologies involved in fuel cell systems (see achievements below).

 

Notable achievements to date:

  • Kinectrics Inc in Canada (a wholly owned subsidiary of the AEA Technology Group) is working with Siemens to develop, build, commission the world’s largest pre-commercial SOFC.
  • Kinectrics Inc also has teams with expertise in a range of components in fuel cell systems, including fuel processing, hydrogen storage, and balance of plant including CHP, and connection to the power grid.
  • Accentus plc (a wholly owned subsidiary of the AEA Technology Group) has been developing non-thermal plasma and catalytic reformers for converting various fuels to hydrogen for use in fuel cell systems.
  • Accentus plc has also undertaken studies of the technologies being developed on a worldwide basis for application within the hydrogen economy
