The CPS-1500 and CPS-3000 Fuel Cell Inverters are advanced utility interactive inverters designed for connecting stationary hydrogen fuel cells to an AC grid. These inverters support both grid-tied and stand-alone modes of operation, featuring advanced control algorithms to ensure optimal performance. They are available in indoor and outdoor configurations with capacities ranging from 875kVA to 3000kVA, allowing modular units to be paralleled for scalability. The inverters offer best-in-class control modes such as Dynamic Transfer, isochronous and droop-based islanding, black start capability, and power control with active current and voltage curtailment to maintain optimal fuel cell operation. With proven technology deployed over 400MW, they are designed for utility interconnection, capable of operating over a wide DC voltage range (550–1500VDC), and provide seamless transfer between grid-tied and stand-alone modes using a patented Dynamic Transfer feature.

Sensata Technologies, Inc. Sensata Technologies, Inc. is a global industrial technology company whose core business is the development of sensors, sensor-based solutions, electrical protection components, and related controls for mission-critical applications. The company serves automotive, heavy-vehicle and off-road, industrial, aerospace, and other OEM markets, giving it an established role as a component supplier where pressure, temperature, position, electrical, and operating-condition data have to be measured reliably inside larger machines and systems. Hydrogen fits into this broader sensing business through both mobility and stationary infrastructure applications, where storage vessels, regulators, compressors, fuel-cell balance-of-plant equipment, and process systems require continuous measurement and control. Sensata supplies pressure, temperature, and position sensing technologies that can be integrated into hydrogen powertrains and hydrogen-handling equipment, including high-pressure sensors and switches for storage, regulation, and compression duties. These devices provide data to vehicle or plant control systems rather than functioning as stand-alone hydrogen equipment. Within the hydrogen value chain, Sensata therefore participates mainly as an enabling instrumentation supplier to vehicle manufacturers, fuel-cell developers, equipment OEMs, and industrial system integrators that need compact sensing and protection components for hydrogen applications.
