Cell Care Technologies has integrated UPS and fuel-cell technologies to produce an advanced back-up power system for Investec banking group’s London headquarters.

The marriage of a Chloride PowerRack UPS and a 5 kW IdaTech ElectraGen 5XTR fuel-cell system delivers reliable protection with extended back-up power run to the security office.

The product combines a proton exchange membrane fuel-cell stack, reformer, fuel storage and delivery, power electronics and controls.

The maker says it provides a clean, compact and quiet alternative to diesel generators.

Generators, batteries or fuel-cell systems using bottled hydrogen are only practical for a limited number of hours.

The IdaTech unit produces high-grade hydrogen internally. This enables days of operation from a compact liquid-fuel source.
