3. ?

4.  Build with oxide fuel cell technology,
distributed power generator
 Electro-chemical process oppose to
combustion
 Bloom Energy Server
 100kW of power - 1MW or more
 Baseload needs to 100 average homes
or a small office building
 Day and night
 Footprint – standard parking space
 More energy – Add additional energy
servers

6. Bloom Energy servers
 Each server is the
equivalent size of
one parking spot.
 Cost Up to $800,000
per unit
 Can sell excess
(unused) energy
back to power
company
 Uses an
electrochemical
profess to generate
electricity

9. FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY
 Use low cost materials – cells use a
common sand like power instead of
precious metals like platinum or corrosive
materials like acids
 High electrical efficiency – convert fuel
into electricity at nearly twice the rate of
legacy technologies
 Fuel flexibility – systems are capable of
using either renewable or fossil fuels
 Reversible – capable of both energy
generation and storage

10. TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
