Scalable fuel cell power for for data centers and critical infrastructure 

Safe, zero emission, reliable, on-demand and cost efficient solutions 

Ballard and Vertiv partner on data center back-up power solutions

Vertiv’s Power Module H2 solution, demonstrated at their Delaware, Ohio facility, integrates two Ballard FCwave™-PowerGen 200kW fuel cell cabinets, which power the fully functional decarbonized back-up system. The solution encompasses a complete cooling sub-system, power conditioning equipment and hydrogen storage infrastructure integrated with Vertiv™ HPL Lithium-Ion batteries, Liebert® EXL S1 UPS system and the Vertiv™ DynaFlex Energy Management Controller. 

During the collaborative effort, the teams were able to carry out initial validation and testing of the Power Module H2 solution with the objective to deliver a 100% reliable solution with unrestricted hours of fuel cell back-up power - the challenge of a first-time integration of Ballard and Vertiv's “turn-key” fuel cell system solution on an industry-ready component level.

“The unprecedented adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) are driving a need for eco-friendly power solutions for our customers, with a focus on zero-carbon and low-carbon energy alternatives. The successful fuel cell proof-of-concept with Ballard provides a viable option for customers strengthening their data center sustainability strategy, and those moving to a future-ready Bring Your Own Power (BYOP) model.”
