Nordic Power Systems

Nordic Power Systems is preparing for commercial market introduction of a diesel fuel cell generator (APU). The APU is virtually emission free, has at least 50% higher efficiency than a conventional generator, and may be used for both el & heat production. First deliveries of demonstrators are ongoing to selected partners. The diesel fuel cell APU is regarded unique worldwide since it runs on conventional fuels like diesel and bio fuels. The technology has especially attracted the defense industry due to silence and high efficiency, as well as fuel robustness with regard to sulfur . Examples of other identified markets are APU for yachts, trucks (bans on idle running upcoming meaning a separate onboard power source is needed), residential heating, off grid power production, cooling aggregates, mobile homes / caravans and range extender for electric vehicles. 

The patented system has been developed by the Technical University of Aachen, Germany and is based on a conversion process named cool flame reforming . The reformer converts hydrocarbon fuels to a hydrogen reformat gas which is fed into a HT PEM fuel cell. In 2006 Nordic Power Systems acquired the exclusive rights for commercialization of the unique technology. Currently the company is focusing on power ranges 1- 2 kW, but planning for larger systems as the technology is scaleable.
