Hydrogen Power Cell Monitoring and Data Collection Platform

Project Overview

Canadian startup HyDrive, later Supernova Technologies, built hydrogen power cells for use in the over the road truck and continuous operation generator markets.


Solution

  • Built data collection and communications platforms for monitoring the performance of advanced Hydrogen based fuel consumption and emissions reductions technology
  • Created a shared savings business model which validated the ongoing savings and emissions reductions through active audits for performance deltas
  • Developed electronics for remote command, control, and monitoring of continuous delivery diesel generators
  • Captured fuel consumption, emissions, power output and load rating, and access controls with auditing
  • Created a platform to capture and sell carbon credits into the secondary market
  • Enabled accurate monitoring of hydrogen power cell performance

Results

  • Facilitated carbon credit trading through verified emissions reductions
  • Improved operational efficiency through comprehensive monitoring
  • Created new revenue streams through carbon credit sales
  • Reduced system failures by 40%
  • Improved maintenance efficiency
  • Enhanced system reliability
