Ricardo, a global consulting company, has achieved a significant milestone in clean energy innovation by developing a high-powered, multi-stack hydrogen fuel cell module that reached 393kW of net electrical power within just three months of development. This success was attributed to Ricardo's virtual engineering toolchain, which enabled cost reduction, risk mitigation, accelerated development timelines, and a better understanding of system behaviors. Initially designed for the maritime sector under the sHYpS Horizon Europe project, the hydrogen fuel cell module offers high energy output with zero emissions, featuring a modular architecture that integrates multiple fuel cell stacks for superior power density, scalability, and applicability in various sectors like maritime, stationary power generation, rail, and off-highway. Ricardo also introduced a containerized solution that allows combining multiple fuel cell modules, enabling power output scaling up to 3MW per container and delivering a total net electrical plant output of 6MW. This advancement supports zero-emission large-scale applications, exemplified by its capacity to power a 50,000-tonne cruise ship with 1,000 passengers through significant emission-free missions. Andy Ennever, Ricardo's Global Head of Fuel Cells, emphasized the pivotal nature of this achievement in showcasing hydrogen's potential as a clean energy source and Ricardo's expertise in fuel cell module design and engineering.
