2024年6月25日美国康涅狄格州斯托斯市和丹伯里市(全球新闻线) - FuelCell Energy, Inc. (纳斯达克: FCEL)和康涅狄格大学(UConn)宣布,康涅狄格大学将使用FuelCell Energy的固体氧化物燃料电池技术,为其位于Storrs校园上的UConn Tech Park的创新伙伴关系大厦(IPB)提供电力和热能。
Four of FuelCell Energy's 250-kilowatt solid oxide fuel cells, with a combined one megawatt of electricity generation capability, will provide power and thermal energy to support current and planned future demand of the IPB—allowing it to operate independently from the local utility grid. FuelCell Energy and UConn will work together as part of a power purchase agreement and will also collaborate on educational opportunities for students that include educational lectures, facility tours, and internship opportunities for engineering students.
FuelCell Energy的4台250千瓦固体氧化物燃料电池可以共同提供1兆瓦电力和热能,以支持IPB的当前和未来计划的需求 - 使其能够独立于当地公用事业网格运行。 FuelCell Energy和UConn将作为电力购买协议的一部分进行协作,并将与工程学生合作提供包括教育讲座,设施参观和实习机会在内的学生教育机会。
UConn's Sustainable Energy Leadership
UConn is known for both the study and adoption of sustainable energy technologies while supporting the sustainable energy innovation happening in its home state of Connecticut, such as at Connecticut-based FuelCell Energy. This leading public research university has committed to transforming its Storrs flagship campus to carbon neutral by 2030, and the FuelCell Energy platforms are part of these broader sustainable energy efforts.
康涅狄格大学的可持续能源领导力
康涅狄格大学以可持续能源技术的研究和采用而闻名,并支持康涅狄格州内正在进行的可持续能源创新,如基于康涅狄格州的FuelCell Energy。这个领先的公共研究型大学已经承诺到2030年将其Storrs旗舰校园转变为碳中和,FuelCell Energy平台是这些更广泛可持续能源努力的一部分。
UConn President Radenka Maric, a recognized global authority on sustainable energy, commented, "This valuable partnership will help UConn to accomplish two critical goals: utilizing clean and sustainable energy sources to power our campuses as we work toward our carbon neutrality goals while at the same time providing research and learning opportunities for members of our campus community." She added, "Ensuring that UConn is as sustainable as possible and supporting research and innovation in the clean energy field is one of the great challenges of our lifetimes."
康涅狄格大学校长Radenka Maric是可持续能源认证的全球性权威,她评论道:“这个宝贵的合作伙伴关系将帮助康涅狄格大学实现两个关键目标:利用洁净的和可持续的能源来源来为我们的校园提供动力,同时朝着碳中和的目标努力,同时为我们的校园社区成员提供研究和学习机会。” 她补充说:“确保康涅狄格大学尽可能可持续,并支持清洁能源领域的研究和创新,是我们这个时代最大的挑战之一。”
UConn will oversee the technical and programmatic work of eight regional groups called Technical Assistance Partnerships in different parts of the U.S. with its campus serving as the main Technical Analysis and Support Center in the Department of Energy decarbonization project.
康涅狄格大学将监督位于美国不同地区的8个区域组织所称的技术援助伙伴关系的技术和项目工作,而其校园则作为部门的能源减碳计划的主要技术分析和支持中心。部门能源减碳项目。
FuelCell Energy's President and CEO Jason Few said, "We are thrilled that our home state university shares our passion and purpose to develop and drive sustainable energy solutions and has been recognized for its leadership in sustainable energy study and adoption. It is an honor to work with President Maric, her administration, research teams, and operations to support UConn's Innovation Partnership Building and 2030 carbon neutral goal."
FuelCell Energy的总裁兼首席执行官Jason Few表示:“我们非常高兴我们的家乡大学分享我们开发和推动可持续能源解决方案的热情和目的,并因其在可持续能源研究和采用方面的领导地位而受到表彰。与Maric校长,她的管理层,研究团队和运营部门合作,支持UConn的创新伙伴关系大厦和2030年实现碳中和的目标是一种荣誉。”
Overview of FuelCell Energy Project at UConn
The FuelCell Energy project at the IPB will be completed in two phases, with two of the 250 kilowatt SOFC units being installed during each phase. Data collected from the fuel cells will be used by students and faculty for academic analysis. After the completion of phase two, the system will be integrated into a building microgrid, and any unused power will be exported to the Eversource grid under the fuel cell net metering tariffs.
UConn的FuelCell Energy项目概述
位于IPB的FuelCell Energy项目将分两个阶段完成,每个阶段都将安装两个250千瓦固体氧化物燃料电池。从燃料电池收集的数据将被学生和教师用于学术分析。在第二阶段完成后,该系统将被整合到建筑微网中,任何未使用的电力都将根据燃料电池净计量电费出口到Eversource电网。
Additionally, each unit will be configured to operate in a combined heat and power ("CHP") mode. This will allow UConn to integrate the thermal energy recovery into the operating thermal system that already exists within the IPB.
此外,每个单位都将配置为运行在联合热力发电(CHP)模式下。这将允许UConn将热能回收集成到IPB内已经存在的热力系统中。
"Innovation requires energy, and our leaders have worked hard to establish an environment where our power needs are met without negatively impacting our carbon footprint," said Pamir Alpay, UConn's Vice President for Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship. "These fuel cell units will sufficiently power the entire Tech Park, UConn's nexus for research progress. In the process, we move closer to our goal of carbon neutrality without compromising the needs of our partners and centers that call the Tech Park home."
“创新需要能量,我们的领导者们努力创造一个能够满足我们的电力需求而不会对我们的碳足迹造成负面影响的环境,”UConn的研究,创新和创业副校长Pamir Alpay说。 “这些燃料电池可以充分为整个Tech Park提供动力,这也是UConn研究进展的中心。在此过程中,我们实现了走向碳中和的目标,而不会影响我们的合作伙伴和中心的需求,他们称Tech Park为家。”
