Plug Power offers two GenSys fuel cell systems that provide continuous power in distinct applications.
Grid-Connected, Combined Heat and Power
The high-temperature GenSys fuel cell system operates parallel to the grid as a replacement for traditional furnaces and boilers in residential and light commercial applications. The combined heat and power (CHP) system runs on natural gas at a temperature between 160° C and 180° C, making it compatible with existing home heating systems – working seamlessly with radiant, forced air or baseboard hot water.
The high-quality heat generated by the system can meet the full heating needs of a home while supplementing the electrical load. The high-temperature GenSys is expected to deliver a 20% to 40% reduction in home energy costs and 15% to 25% reduction in home CO2 emissions compared with incumbent technology.
