Facilities with critical power requirements, such as hospitals and prisons, rely heavily on a constant source of power, and interruptions to that power supply can lead to dangerous consequences. FuelCell Energy Direct FuelCell® (DFC®) power plants represent a means of ensuring secure primary power for these facilities, easing reliance on the power grid. Existing sources of back-up power at these facilities are not considered as reliable as an on-site fuel cell power plant. These sources of back-up power, such as generators and battery packs, are intended for short-term emergency use, and could not be used in the event of a long-term interruption to the power grid.
Fuel cell power plants are currently installed at several hospitals and correctional institutions. In addition to having a reliable power source on-site, the efficiency of these power plants is contributing to measurable energy savings.
