GenCell REX™ – Fuel Cell Backup Power Generator
- Powered by hydrogen, the GenCell REX fuel cell backup power generator produces 5kW of emissions-free electricity for substations during power outages.
- Operating as a direct source of power or supplementing legacy backup battery systems that provide only 6-8 hours of electricity, the GenCell REX keeps circuit breaker auto-reclosers operational until the grid recovers.
- The solution alleviates the need for costly multiple battery rooms, avoids the pollution and maintenance costs of diesel and includes a shelter that is resistant to high-voltage interference and earthquakes.
- The GenCell REX is an enhanced version of the GenCell G5rx solution, available in three configurations – 130VDC, 48 VDC and dual 130/48 VDC output in a single unit to support both substation loads and communications systems.
- The GenCell REX also offers enhanced integration with leading utility SCAD systems and improved remote monitoring and control software.
