Providing renewable, reliable and quick response power in areas where grid power isn’t accessible
Extreme weather and natural disasters have made power outages a real threat to millions. While backup diesel generators run on fossil fuels, Sesame Solar is decarbonizing off-grid power with its mobile Nanogrids.
Sesame Solar Nanogrids make renewable power fast and easy, leveraging solar power and green hydrogen to provide mobile, reliable and renewable energy.
These solutions provide weeks of autonomy to support communities impacted by disaster. The structures, some as large as a shipping container, have rooftop solar panels that can generate power in as little as 15 minutes.
Intelligent Energy’s 4kW fuel cell modules are being used to provide this renewable, quick response power. With electricity and water vapour as the only by-products, the fuel cells are a cleaner than diesel alternatives currently being used. The fuel cells are scalable and when combined with H2 Core Systems’ technology, create a self-sustaining ecosystem.
These mobile nanogrids are a great example of hybrid power. The batteries installed within the nanogrid are charged via fuel cell power and solar power.
When the batteries onboard are discharged to 35%, the IE-POWER 4 fuel cell starts charging the batteries using the stored, green hydrogen gas generated from the integrated solar panels. Electrolysis takes place within the mobile system whereby hydrogen gas is produced from the solar until the storage tanks are full, then it shuts off and the batteries are again charged using solar power. This system provides a clean energy loop.
