Edinburgh Napier university generates own energy with fuel cell
30/12/2014
A fuel cell generator that will reduce costs and carbon emissions has been installed for free by iPower at Edinburgh Napier University, as James Hunt reports:

The BlueGEN fuel cell has been installed at Napier Universitys Merchiston campus, and it converts natural gas to heat and electricity around the clock.

Edinburgh Napier University has, it says, taken up a pioneering green deal, one that will cut CO2 emissions while simultaneously reducing energy costs. With this deal, the universitys property and facilities department has commissioned the installation of a fuel cell.
The BlueGEN fuel cell unit has been installed at Napier Universitys Merchiston campus, and it converts natural gas to heat and electricity around the clock.
Each unit, which utilises ceramic fuel cells to electrochemically convert gas into electricity, is claimed to use the most efficient method currently available to extract usable energy from the gas. The process works at significantly higher electrical efficiencies than some other microCHP systems and is said to be on a par with those on a much larger scale. For instance, BlueGEN fuel cells operate at a high 60% electrical efficiency, which is roughly the same as that for a large Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant generally considered to be highly energy efficient.
Electricity is consumed locally, with unused power being exported to the grid, and if the integrated heat recovery system is connected, the waste heat from BlueGen can be used to produce hot water - which improves the total efficiency to approximately 85%. BlueGen fuel cells can be controlled remotely via the Internet.
The overall result at Edinburgh Napier University, which is said to be a landmark deal for a wider programme due to be launched soon, is estimated to be a reduction in CO2 emissions of 3.6 tonnes each year. In addition, this fuel cell could make money through the Governments Feed-In-Tariff scheme, in which energy users can obtain money back from the low carbon electricity they generate.
In the vanguard
Use of the BlueGEN unit, in a project managed by award-winning social enterprise iPower Energy, places the university in the vanguard of micro combined heat and power (micro-CHP) fuel cell technology application in Scotland, it is claimed.
iPower covered the cost of supplying and installing the unit, while the university pays for its servicing and the gas consumed, in return enjoying free use of all the electricity and heat which is generated.
As the first Scottish installation of BlueGEN, Edinburgh Napier will demonstrate the future potential for the technology of power generation on both domestic and business premises.
iPower, which is committed to addressing the twin challenges of climate change and fuel poverty, has received support from Scottish Enterprise, including a competitively won award under its Edge programme.
iPower MD, Jon Cape, commented: iPower is delighted to have worked with Edinburgh Napier University on this project. It provides a showcase not only for the technology but also for the pioneering business model which has been used.
The Edinburgh Napier installation is the first installation of a fuel cell CHP unit, of any scale, on a free provision basis.
The capital cost of supply and installation is met by iPower. The site-owner the University in this case - pays for gas consumed by the unit and for servicing and enjoys free use of all electricity and heat generated, giving rise to substantial net savings to the site owner, he concluded.
Part of the educative process
The university will use the installation for educational purposes within the School of Engineering and the Built Environment, and for demonstrations to external audiences.
Richard Cebula, energy and utilities manager at Edinburgh Napier University, said: Given the universitys own research involvement and the need to explore different ways to reduce operational carbon emissions, it was considered constructive to install the BlueGEN as a working example of alternative micro combined heat and power.
Despite the science behind the system being well known, BlueGEN is still at the stage of early adoption. Although the energy produced is small scale, the Merchiston installation is regarded as a proving ground for further development and use of this renewable electricity and heat generating technology which is eligible for Feed-In-Tariff payments to assist in covering the additional costs associated with early uptake renewables.
It is hoped that the university will be able to further utilise the BlueGEN and similar technology on a larger scale within its buildings in its bid to achieve its ambitious carbon reduction targets. Self-generation of electricity is increasingly becoming a more critical element of carbon management, said Richard Cebula.

Mini-CHP incentive program: From 2015 significantly more support for the nano- and micro-CHP
Posted on 30.12.2014
[IMG]On January 1, 2015, the Directive on the promotion of cogeneration plants will come to 20 kW el in force in a revised version. The new mini-CHP Directive brings homeowners that a new nano- or micro-CHP into operation, not only up to 33 percent higher base rate of funding, but also additional new bonus promotions for "thermal efficiency" and "power efficiency". To promote overall increases by the new regime at all prerequisites for both bonus promotions by up to 146 percent compared to the current reimbursement rate.
Raising the standard subsidy
The calculation of the support is provided as before in four stages. The basic support for all systems is now 1,900 (+ 33 percent compared to 2014). For systems with more than one kW of electrical power coming to 4 kW of electric power 300 euros per kW (+ 5 percent) added. For over 4 kW to 10 kW per kW another 100 (+ 5 percent) and 10 kW to 20 kW additional 10 Euro per kW of electrical power (- 79 percent). This results in a system with 20 kW of electrical power, a peak rate of funding in the basic subsidy of 3,500 euros (+ 5 percent).
The strong increase in the basic amount while lowering rates of support for the power range between 10 and 20 kW el particularly benefit Nano-CHP for single- and two-family houses from the new funding regime, without which the larger plants would have to make cuts in the result. In addition, the reduction in rates was redeemed in 5 percent in 2014, so that the maximum reimbursement rate corresponds again in 2015 the maximum amount of 2012 and 2013.
The funding of the ACFA for CHP plants, planned changes in 2015
Speaker: The responsible Head of Unit at the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA)
Introduction of two bonus promotions
In addition to the basic subsidy will be created with the new version of mini-CHP Directive two bonus promotions: To receive the bonus promotion "heat efficiency" by an additional 25 percent of the respective base funding, the CHP must have a condensing heat exchanger and the heating system are hydraulically balanced. To obtain the basic subsidy hydraulic balancing, however, is no longer required when only a new CHP plant is installed in addition to an existing boiler and the heating circuit is not changed. For the bonus promotion "power efficiency" with 60 percent premium on the basis of promoting the cogeneration plant a certified electrical efficiency of more than 31 to 35 percent depending on the size must be able to demonstrate at the factory.
Both bonus promotions are combined. A nano-CHP with one kilowatt of electrical power, which comes complete with a condensing heat exchanger and has received certified electrical efficiency of over 31 percent, thus can be supported by the BAFA total of up to 3,515 euros for the carrying out of a hydraulic balancing during installation , In the coming weeks, BAFA is the list of eligible equipment upgrade and it expects to report accordingly to any type of system the standard fulfillment or non-fulfillment of the requirements.
Loans and development programs of KfW, Booth 25 November 2014
Speaker: Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW)
Hurry with new promotions while
In addition to promoting improved programme of mini CHP pulse in addition subsidies and low-interest loans from the KfW programmes can also in 2015 be used and combined with the ACFA promoting. However the use of the newly designed promotion is already possible with a request received by the ACFA to 1 January 2015, the CHP information centre advises interested homeowners to wait for the publication of the new application forms and the new list of eligible facilities, taking into account the amended mini CHP directive by the BAFA in the coming weeks.
It is in addition expected to take several weeks to months until the manufacturer of small power stations respond to the new bonus "Power efficiency" and will offer combustion value heat exchangers for their plants. So, still no burning value heat exchangers are available, for example, for the very popular eco-CHP Vaillant. CHP prospects should begin but never in advance with structural measures or spontaneously ordering a CHP plant: the above funding programs require that the promotion before purchasing a CHP must be requested and processed. Applicants begin their plans in advance, the funding must be rejected. This "early start" is the most common and the easiest way to avoid rejection reason for funding in the mini-CHP pulse program.

Das hat sich noch nicht so richtig herumgesprochen, da die neue Richtlinie seit heute in Kraft ist.
Das wird sich unter Heizungsbauern aber schnell herumsprechen.

Präzedenzfall für iPower BlueGen Programm abgeschlossen Am 17. November 2014 Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited (ASX / AIM: CFU) kündigte den Beginn des ersten voll finanziert BlueGen Programm, wo seine BlueGen Einheit ohne Kosten für den Endbenutzer installiert ist. CFU freut sich bekanntzugeben, dass die aufschiebenden Bedingungen, die erforderlich waren, um eingehalten werden für iPower, Gelder von einem Dritten Geldgeber ziehen sich nun erfüllt und CFU hat die 350.000 £ (A $ 636.000) Anzahlung erhalten. CFU darauf hin, dass die erste Installation unter dem iPower Vertrag wird voraussichtlich in diesem Monat statt. Gemäß den Bedingungen des Abkommens mit iPower sind 55 Einheiten bis zum 30. Juni und der Rest bis zum 30. September installiert werden. Wie bereits angekündigt, wird die 100 kW-Flotte vor allem in Gebäuden im öffentlichen Sektor eingesetzt werden. Endanwender zahlen für die Kosten von Gas und Wartung und die Vorteile der von den BlueGen Einheiten und der Wärme, die für Warmwasser zurückgewonnen wird, erzeugten Strom zu erhalten.
iPower is the first customer to receive investment from Scotland's £16m Social Growth Fund
Low carbon developer and social enterprise, iPower, has launched the UK's first funded fuel cell programme to help combat fuel poverty in Scotland thanks to a £1m investment from the Social Growth Fund.
The deal to support iPower is the first investment to be made from the £16m Social Growth Fund which opened for applications in May 2014. Managed by leading lender to the third sector, Social Investment Scotland, the fund brings together £8m from the Scottish Government and £8m from Big Society Capital, the independent financial institution set up to develop and share a sustainable social investment market in the UK.
The investment will enable iPower to roll out micro Combined Heat and Power (mCHP) fuel cells, BlueGen, to a number of properties across Scotland. The mCHP fuel cell converts natural gas from the gas network to electricity and heat at the point of use, significantly reducing energy consumption and cutting fuel bills. Despite being only the size of a washing machine, it is capable of producing the same amount of energy as half a tennis court of solar PV panels.
iPower will be targeting a range of sites including schools, universities, social housing, council buildings and private care homes with a view to installing the technology for free. Site owners will only pay for the fuel they use and an annual service payment, without being liable for the upfront expenditure for purchasing and installing the machine.
The free BlueGEN model has already been piloted with Edinburgh Napier University where iPower can arrange for visitors to see it in action at the university's Merchiston Campus.
Since launch the fund, Social Investment Scotland has received more than 70 applications for investment worth more than £18m, highlighting the increasing appetite amongst Scotland's third sector for more sustainable forms of finance.
Jon Cape, Director of iPower, said: "iPower is delighted to be working with Social Investment Scotland, and the BlueGEN manufacturers Ceramic Fuel Cells Ltd to deliver this programme. Japan now has over 100,000 fuel cell mCHP units installed. We aim to play a leading role in bringing this scale of deployment to Scotland and the UK in coming years, making substantial cuts to energy bills and carbon emissions."Around 70 sites will be supported in the first phase, funded by SIS, and iPower is looking to extend this to a further 350 sites in the coming year.
Alastair Davis, Chief Executive of Social Investment Scotland, said: "iPower's fuel cell installation programme has the potential to be a game changer for many public, private and third sector site owners for whom rising energy costs are proving a serious issue. Once scaled up, the scheme will also make a sizable impact on meeting Scotland's carbon reduction targets.
"It's fantastic to see investment finance from our new Social Growth Fund beginning to make a difference on the ground. We've seen high levels of interest in the fund since it launched earlier this year and look forward to announcing further investments in the coming months."
The development stage of the project has previously received funding support from the Scottish EDGE, a funding competition delivered by Scottish Enterprise in partnership with other public and private sector organisations. iPower also works closely with the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP)'s Resource Efficient Business Models (REBus) scheme which is working with sites to help them develop their business models to achieve energy efficiency.
Most of the 70 sites in the Phase One programme are committed but there is still scope for new site owners to join the programme. Site owners looking to find out more about the technology and what it could do for their buildings should visit www.iPoweruk.com.

Kostenlose Installation in England und massive Förderung in Deutschland, so kann es aufwärts gehen mit der BlueGen.
Dann der elektrische Wirkungsgrad von 60%. (das schaffen gerade mal die modernsten Siemens Großturbinen)
.... ich glaube ich kaufe noch einmal 10000 Aktien. das kann was werden.
