The Future of Power Generation in Remote Environments

December 23, 2022 in , /by

For communities and establishments off the grid, power generation has always been a challenge. The sources of power generation are often unreliable or costly to maintain.  Off-the-grid power generation is a challenge in and of itself, while areas with harsh environments are faced with even less reliable power solutions.  Will these challenges continue to be […]

SOFC Use Case For Residential Properties

November 30, 2022 in , , /by

This is a concept to share the implications of using solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) for residential use.  Problem to solve: Provide adequate and reliable power to off-grid residential properties. Current solutions are either inadequate for providing consistent energy or require large amounts of costly upkeep.  Common off-grid power systems Of the commonly used power […]

SOFC Generators For Solving Unique Power Needs

September 30, 2022 in , /by

Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) generators provide an efficient and durable solution for power, especially in areas that are off the grid or in harsh environments. Depending on the generator, it can be used for backup power or as an extended power source.  As technology advances and evolves, SOFC generators are creating powerful energy solutions […]

Current and Future Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Applications

August 19, 2022 in , /by

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is one of the most promising technologies for clean, high-efficiency energy production. Because of their unique attributes and scalable capabilities they are being used for a number of applications and solutions. SOFC technology is so promising that the US department of energy initiated a program in 2000 to invest in […]

Generating Power in Extreme and Remote Communities

August 8, 2022 in , /by

Generating power in extreme and remote locations has unique challenges and takes careful consideration. These areas rarely are connected to a reliable grid and many traditional means of power generation can’t perform efficiently under extreme conditions and weather. But, those living and working in these locations still expect their power to be stable without the […]

Why Solid Oxide Fuel Cells as a Remote Power Source

July 12, 2022 in , /by

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are over a century old but have been seeing rapid innovations and growing use cases over the past several decades. These fuel cells have been used in transportation, industrial equipment, cooling, providing power, and various other applications where direct grid power is unavailable. At SPS, our unique SOFC technology is […]
