Ricardo, an environmental and engineering consulting firm based in London, has achieved a remarkable milestone with its high-powered, multi-stack hydrogen fuel cell module technology. The module successfully reached 393kW of net electrical power within just three months of development, showcasing a major advancement in zero-emission energy solutions. This breakthrough was made possible through Ricardo's virtual engineering toolchain, which not only reduces costs and risks but also provides a deeper understanding of system behaviors under various conditions. The innovative technology, initially developed for the maritime sector under the sHYpS project, aims to support the decarbonization of industries by delivering high energy output without emissions. Andy Ennever, Ricardo's Global Head of Fuel Cells, highlighted the significance of this achievement, emphasizing the potential of hydrogen as a clean energy source. Moreover, Ricardo's modular architecture allows for the integration of multiple fuel cell stacks, ensuring advanced power density and scalability to meet evolving energy demands in various applications such as maritime, stationary power generation, rail, and off-highway operations. The company's containerized solution, capable of combining multiple fuel cell modules to scale power output up to 3MW per container, demonstrates efficiency and durability without compromising performance. In addition to receiving approval for its design from Lloyd’s Register, Ricardo's containerized fuel cell power plant solution has the capacity to deliver a total net electrical plant output of 6MW when incorporating multiple fuel cell modules in two containers. This level of power is sufficient to sustain zero-emission mission cycles for significant vessels like a 50,000-tonne, 1,000-passenger cruise ship, showcasing the potential impact of hydrogen technology in achieving sustainable maritime operations.
