PowerCell Sweden and Hitachi ABB<br />
Power Grids Deepen Cooperation on<br />
Stationary Power Solutions<br />
PowerCell Sweden AB and Hitachi ABB Power Grids have<br />
signed an agreement regarding an in-depth collaboration<br />
around fuel-cell-based stationary power solutions. The<br />
intention is to combine the two companies’ technology and<br />
to market fuel-cell-based total solutions that facilitate the<br />
transition to a more sustainable energy production.<br />
The two companies will initially focus on complete, mobile<br />
container-based solutions with a power of up to 600 kW, and<br />
on module-based stationary megawatt solutions, i.e., with a<br />
total power output of more than 1,000 kW. The generic fuel<br />
cell-based complete solutions, including service offers, will be<br />
marketed and sold jointly by the companies.<br />
In June last year, PowerCell Sweden and Hitachi ABB Power<br />
Grids signed a memorandum of understanding regarding a<br />
collaboration around fuel-cell-based stationary power solutions.<br />
The background is the increased demand for hydrogen-electric<br />
stationary power solutions that can complement<br />
renewable and volatile energy sources.<br />
The companies have since evaluated how to best combine<br />
their respective companies’ technology into attractive, complete<br />
solutions within hydrogen-electric stationary power.<br />
PowerCell’s fuel cell systems and Hitachi ABB Power Grids’<br />
total solutions for grid connection will be the main building<br />
blocks.<br />
In January, PowerCell Sweden received an order for an<br />
MS-100 fuel cell system for stationary power from the Texas<br />
Advanced Computing Center, TACC, at the University of<br />
Texas. The system will be part of a fuel-cell-based stationary<br />
power solution at TACC developed by PowerCell Sweden and<br />
Hitachi ABB Power Grids and was the two companies’ first<br />
joint project.<br />

“This collaboration is an optimal combination of each company’s<br />
capabilities and resources,” Richard Berkling, CEO of<br />
PowerCell said. “For PowerCell’s part, it means that we can<br />
benefit from Hitachi ABB Power Grids’ great expertise within<br />
power solutions, and their great geographical footprint.”<br />
“We look forward to deepening our collaboration with<br />
PowerCell Sweden to contribute together towards a carbon-neutral<br />
energy future through innovative solutions that<br />
strengthen the grid and enable the faster electrification of<br />
society,” said Jenny Larsson, Country Managing Director at<br />
Hitachi ABB Power Grids in Sweden. “I am proud that our<br />
initial collaboration has resulted in us already being able to<br />
offer these groundbreaking technical solutions to the market,”<br />
she added.<br />
