  • Transportation Through Hydrogen Fuelled Vehicles in India
    APPENDIX - VII REPORT ON TRANSPORTATION THROUGH HYDROGEN FUELLED VEHICLES IN INDIA Prepared by Sub-Committee on Transportation through Hydrogen Fuelled Vehicles of the Steering Committee on Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cells Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, New Delhi June, 2016 PREFACE In the present scenario, transportation sector is the lifeline of any economy but it is a major contributor to air pollution and greenhouse gas effect, causing health hazardous to living beings and increases earth’s atmospheric temperature (which result melting of glaciers and rise of water level in seas / ocean) respectively. The reserves of conventional sources of energy like coal and petroleum will rapidly be depleted due to continuous increasing energy demand. The transportation sector can alternatively be managed with hydrogen as fuel, which emits only water vapours and conventional sources of energy may be utilized for non-energy purpose. The hydrogen fueled vehicles based on internal combustion and fuel cell based technology (known as Zero Emission Vehicles) have been developed decades ago and are under demonstration in many countries. However, the industry experienced ups and downs in the interest of these vehicles due to various international reasons. In view of the climate change, it is becoming compulsive to promote carbon based to carbon neutral technologies. India is also concerned about its contribution to climate change and therefore has been giving significant impetus to generation & usage of new and renewable energy e.g. solar and wind. Hydrogen energy has also been a focus of attention for quite some time. Unfortunately, required emphasis could not be given primarily due to resource crunch and therefore the progress is lagging far behind in the global race.

  • Automating Emergency Power Supply System Testing in Hospitals | 3 White Paper
    Automating Emergency Power Supply System Testing in Hospitals by Markus F. Hirschbold, Ginni Stieva Executive summary The testing of emergency power supply systems (EPSS) in hospitals plays a critic al role to ensure backup power is available when needed. Due to the shortcomings of manual testing, more hospitals are switching to automated EPSS test systems. This paper demonstrates how automated EPSS tes ting increases reliability due to the accurate monitoring and recording of test parameters, provides tra ceability in case of unanticipated problems with the EPS system or litigation, and helps reduce the staffing burden for such tests. 998 -2 095 - 01 -3 0 - 1 2 AR 0 Contents Executive Summary ............................................................................................ 3 Introduction ........................................................................................................ 4 Why EPSS Testing is Critical ................................................................................ 6 Major Outages Resulting from EPSS Failures ....................................................... 7 Financial Risk of EPSS Failure during a Blackout ................................................. 8 Preventable Adverse (Sentinel) Events ................................................................. 9 Improper Testing Can Cause Reliability to Decrease ...........................................10 Advantages of Automated EPSS Testing ............................................................12 Conclusion ........................................................................................................14

They are used in places where an interruption in power supply can cause significant damage, e.g. in hospitals, banks or telecommunication towers. There are many solutions for how emergency power can be delivered. Hydrogen fuel cells are an emerging technology with great potential for the future. Fuel cells combine the advantages of batteries and diesel generators, and eliminate some of their significant disadvantages. They can work as long as they are supplied with fuel via a simple and efficient electrochemical reaction and at the same time they are quiet, produce no emissions and require minimum maintenance. The aim of this thesis is to present the idea of hydrogen fuel cells as reliable backup power systems. The work consisted of two parts: one practical, the other theoretical.
