    Hydrogen Optimization Maximizes Power and Profit Generation


    Distributed Energy Systems offers advanced technology systems to improve the
    performance of power plants hydrogen-cooled generators. Our innovative
    StableFlow hydrogen control system ensures active control of hydrogen purity,
    pressure and dew point for optimized generator performance and maximized
    profits, while our HOGEN hydrogen generation systems provide improved safety
    and more cost-effective hydrogen through onsite generation.

    HOGEN Hydrogen Generators

    Onsite Hydrogen Generators For Power Plants


    HOGEN hydrogen generation
    systems increase safety and
    security by minimizing:
    Onsite hydrogen storage
    Cylinder handling
    Routine hydrogen delivery

    Distributed Energy Systems HOGEN hydrogen generators utilize our unique


    proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis system and electricity to
    separate water into pure hydrogen and oxygen. Each HOGEN generator
    continuously produces ultra-high purity (99.999+%) hydrogen gas at output
    pressures up to 218 psi (15 bar) and at a dew point of -85F/-65C.
    The compact HOGEN hydrogen generator can be placed on the generator
    deck or any other indoor, non-classified plant area. Its unique design allows
    the HOGEN hydrogen generator to contain virtually no stored hydrogen,
    even when generating hydrogen at 228 scf/hr (6 Nm3/hr) meeting the
    daily hydrogen requirements of power plants as large as 2,000 MW.
    The HOGEN hydrogen generation system provides reliable, safe, lowcost hydrogen for generator cooling, giving our power plant customers a
    payback of less than one year.

    StableFlow Control System

    Cruise Control For Your Hydrogen-Cooled Generator


    Distributed Energy Systems StableFlow hydrogen control system is a
    breakthrough product allowing the plant to actively control generator
    casing hydrogen purity, pressure and dew point.
    StableFlow hydrogen control systems integrate into your current
    hydrogen supply and automatically control pressure, purity and dew
    point. Actively controlling hydrogen at optimum levels in your hydrogencooled generator will:
    Optimize fuel efficiency
    Maximize generator capacity
    Extend generator life
    Provide safe hydrogen supply

    StableFlow Hydrogen Control Systems are designed for simple installation


    and do not require a generator outage.

    Case Study

    Mirant Dickerson Generating Station


    Distributed Energy Systems conducted a case study at the Mirant Dickerson
    Generating Station in Dickerson, Maryland. The study compared a bottled
    gas, batch feed system to a HOGEN onsite hydrogen generation system
    with StableFlow hydrogen control system. The charts below illustrate the
    effect the batch feed process has on hydrogen gas dew point, pressure
    stability and purity while operating in the gas delivery mode. Hydrogen gas
    purity drops when pressure in the generator decreases and immediately
    responds positively as new gas is introduced into the casing to re-pressurize.
    The StableFlow hydrogen control system automatically and continuously
    maintains dew point and casing purity above OEM specified levels.
