UPS Systems has installed a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) at the <strong>UK</strong> Environment Agency’s Woolston Weir fishery to monitor the movement of eels. The aim is to help conservation work by providing power to telemetry and CCTV equipment at an ‘eel pass’ to monitor the endangered creatures’ journey upstream to fresh water. To gauge the success of the new eel pass, the Environment Agency has installed a monitoring and telemetry system at the Woolston site, which uses CCTV to record and monitor the eels’ journeys providing data about its success. To provide power to the eel pass, UPS has installed an EFOY Pro 2200 DMFC alongside two load-carrying batteries hooked up in parallel. The DMFC acts as a charger to ensure the batteries are kept at optimum voltage at all times. The system provides continuous power to a water pump that oxygenates a holding tank where the eels are counted and checked. It also powers a webcam and the telemetry system. The EFOY Pro 2200 is said to offer 38% more power than the EFOY Pro 1600; it 24 UPS UPS, the Environment Agency & the ‘eel-good’ factor UPS Systems has installed a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) at the <strong>UK</strong> Environment Agency’s Woolston Weir fishery to monitor the movement of eels. Key to the system is an EFOY Pro 2200 DMFC alongside two load-carrying batteries hooked up in parallel, reports WIP. generates 90W of electricity and is said to be suitable for a range of prime and standby power applications. The EFOY Pro 2200 [see right] is regarded by its manufacturer as a ‘plugand-play’ solution - customers do not need special expertise to install it. “EFOY has proved that, in some situations, its fuel cells can save users up to 90% in operating and maintenance costs, so the argument for investing in fuel cell technology continues to grow,” comments UPS Systems’ Managing Director Tom Sperrey. The EFOY Pro 2200 is described as robust and doesn’t require maintenance, so it can be left alone for long periods. For example, an EFOY Pro 2200 using a 28litre methanol cartridge can power a 50W traffic signal serial blinker for 26 days, while a traditional battery can only power it for one day. Like other fuel cells in the EFOY range, the EFOY Pro 2200 can be used in hybrid installations which take advantage of renewable energy sources such as solar or wind. Such configurations recharge the batteries that power electrical equipment. This makes the EFOY Pro 2200 N OVEMBER 2011 • WORLDWIDE I NDEPENDENT P OWER suitable for standby power applications and for operation in remote areas where there isn’t easy access to the grid, says UPS Systems. The EFOY Pro 2200 can be located outside, and can operate in all weather conditions. The manufacturer of EFOY fuel cells, Smart Fuel Cell AG, has shipped more than 16,000 fully commercial products to industrial and private end users for more than six years. It has created a convenient supply infrastructure for its fuel cartridges, which deliver week-long autonomous energy and can be obtained from more than 1,400 sales points in Europe [www.sfc.com]. SFC Energy AG is a market leader in fuel cell technologies for mobile and off-grid power applications serving the leisure, industrial and defence markets. As one of Germany’s technology pioneers, SFC has won numerous innovation awards. Unlike most other fuel cell manufacturers, who are in the research and development phase or run subsidised demonstration projects, SFC has shipped more than 21,000+ fully commercial products to industrial and private end-users since 2007.
