The aim of the ReCoMend project is to develop a regenerative, small cogeneration power plant based on hydrogen fuel cell, which would replace in an environment-friendly way the gas engines used at present for the electric energy and heat supply of institutions and family homes.

During the project, we are going to create the prototype of such a complex, highly efficient system that is suitable for the energy supply and provide the energy safety of public institutions and the population, possibly by the use of alternative energy sources (the availability of which cannot be regulated). The major tool for achieving this aim is a regenerative, fuel-cell cogeneration power plant. Similarly to gas engines, the system is to be established in the close neighborhood of the users, and so the transportation losses will be minimized (or even eliminated). The produced electric and heat energy will be directly put in the mains of the consumers. The system has two basic modes of operation:

  1. Off-peak operation: the utilization and storage of primary energy
  2. Peak operation: the release of the stored energy

So, the complex system will be multifunctional:

  • Energy storage, schedule monitoring, and, consequently, direct savings on the operating costs
  • Multipurpose energy usage: electric / heat energy, and hydrogen as fuel, which provide flexible utilization while exerting minimal environmental load
  • Incorporating the functions of several different devices: power plant and current source if needed, which results in direct savings on the investment costs

The members of the consortium:

  • STS Group Engineering Office
  • Mool Invest Ltd.
  • Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Faculty of Science (Electrochemical and Electroanalytical Laboratory and the Department of Applied Analysis and Computational Mathematics)
