TECO 2030 has launched what it claims to be the world’s most power dense marine and heavy-duty fuel cell module, the FCM400.The FCM400 has already an Approval in Principle from DNV and currently undergoes type approval process for maritime and heavy-duty applications. FCM400 is inherently gas-safe to accommodate easy integration onboard a ship for zero emission energy generation.TECO 2030 says the modular 400kW fuel cell system includes industry leading energy efficiency, inherent safety concept, leading dimensions and component design and rapid dynamic load response.

Ametek Programmable Power introduced the Elgar XWave high-power AC power source/frequency convertor. The design of the XWave Series utilizes 10kW power modules to provide incremental output levels from 30kVA to 480kVA. A single cabinet can provide 120kVA with multiple cabinets configured for outputs from 120kVA to 480kVA. Its interchangeable components facilitate on-site repairs and, should future requirements change, permit field upgrades and improvements. The XWave provides up to 150% of rated output current for up to 7 seconds to handle loads with heavy in-rush currents, and it has a line drip compensation feature to overcome distribution losses. Standard models are offered with single or three-phase outputs in a variety of single or dual output ranges.
