Fuel Cells in BOS digital radio communication
Mark-Uwe Osswald
Fuel Cell System – e.g. Jupiter Product Family
Controller
serves up to 20
fuel cell (FC)
units
FC Unit
nom. 2 kW each
(max. 2,5 kW/unit)
Electrical Energy
Storage

Designed for back-up power in
telecommunications, utilities,
industry & IT

High flexibility => one system for
many different applications (power &
voltage levels)

Very high efficiency (> 54%)

“It’s a commercial product”: fulfills

Commercially proven in numerous
applications

Back-up power, minute reserve, peak
power shaving functionality included
practical customer needs (Scalable,
plug & play, installation, service,
reliability)
Example: 8 kW Indoor Configuration
