Blanche Harbor 5700, South Australia. Replacing the diesel generator with quiet hydrogen power that stores energy for weeks.
Blanche Harbor is classed as remote. Many properties out here make their own power with a battery bank and a diesel generator, and every fuel run is a long drive.
Cheap power splits water into hydrogen. The hydrogen waits in a tank. When the lines go down in Blanche Harbor, a fuel cell turns it back into electricity and water, and the water goes round again.
How it works →Yes, that is what it is designed for. A Blanche Harbor home charges the unit from cheap off-peak power, or from wind or micro-hydro where there is no grid, and runs on stored hydrogen when the power goes. 15 kW continuous covers an average home.
Days rather than hours. A battery handles the first moments of an outage, then the fuel cell runs the house on stored hydrogen, which does not lose charge while it waits.
It is in early development. Pilot installs go to people on the pilot list first, and remote South Australia properties like those around Blanche Harbor are exactly who the pilot is for.
Pilot installs go to people on this list first. Rural homes, farms and remote sites especially. No spam, no payment.
