EMCEL offers competent consulting in the areas of fuel cells, hydrogen technology and electric mobility, as well as in the connection of hydrogen systems to renewable energies.
Within this context, we also perform energy audits in accordance with DIN EN 16247. This particularly applies to bus fleets and vehicle fleets.
Consulting on Electric local public transport
We support your electric bus project from initial consulting, right up to implementation. We offer manufacturer-independent and technology-unbiased consulting, in which we determine the appropriate electric bus technology together with you. Subsequently, we develop the optimum strategy for your entry into electrified local public transport and migration for medium-term and long-term fleet conversion.
Our range of services:
- Initial consulting on the subject of electric buses
- Route network analyses
- Conversion concepts (short-term, medium-term and long-term)
- Life cycle cost analyses (TCO)
- Feasibility studies
- Support with applying for subsidy funds
- Project preparation and realisation
Furthermore, we advise you on site and workshop refurbishment (particularly in relation to high-voltage and hydrogen), as well as on the optimum service for your e-buses. To introduce your team to the subject of electric mobility, we also conduct personnel training courses, even with you on site.
Technology consulting on fuel cells, hydrogen and electrolysis
We analyse and verify the (improvement) potential of your fuel cells and hydrogen systems. For this, we plan your ideas in detail and create appropriate feasibility studies, efficiency analyses and business concepts. Main focuses are:
- Autonomous energy systems
- Replacement and emergency electricity supplies
- Electrolysis and power-to-gas systems
- Hydrogen filling stations
- Energy storage on a battery or hydrogen basis
- Connection to renewable energies
Publications & Documentations
We compose written elaborations for you on specialist topics from the areas of fuel cells, hydrogen technology, electric mobility and renewable energies. Our portfolio is comprised of:
- Information brochures on technologies from the fields of electric mobility, energy storage, autonomous energy supply and renewable energies.
- Specialist articles for journals and magazines
- Scientific studies
- Information graphics on scientific and technical interrelationships
- Technical documentation on servicing and maintenance
- We prepare your topic for you and create written and visual communication of the technical and scientific contents.
Reference Projects Consulting
Advice on the air conditioning of electric vehicles
Customer: Automotive group
The entire heat balance of electric vehicles had to be completely rethought, due to the significantly lower waste heat generated in them. Working closely with the customer, EMCEL developed the details of the interrelationships and put forward suggestions.
Advice on hydrogen safety in urban areas
Customer: Public sector
The use of hydrogen in public transport is new for many cities and transport companies. EMCEL examined the proposed safety measures and procedures and then implemented them together with its customer.
Advice on standards and legislation for H2 storage
Customer: Automotive group
There is currently a wealth of new documentation in terms of standards and legislation relating to uses of fuel cells. EMCEL summarised these documents for the customer and presented them specifically relating to hydrogen storage systems.
Advice on the CE certification of FC systems
Customer: Fuel cell system manufacturer
CE certification is a key element in terms of product liability. EMCEL offered the customer suggestions for product design, operational management and the necessary documentation.
Feasibility study on power-to-gas-to-power
Customer: Energy supply company
A Latin American energy provider was planning energy storage using hydrogen from excess energy from hydroelectric power plants. EMCEL carried out the potential analysis and made suggestions about further improving the profitability of the entire system.
Advice on the development of a FC UPS infrastructure
Customer: Telecommunications technology service provider
Fuel cell systems present a clean and reliable alternative in uninterruptible power supply (UPS). EMCEL supported the use of a fuel cell UPS infrastructure for a range of applications with the development of logistics and safety concepts.
Assistance in designing information brochures
Customer: Public sector
On behalf of a state initiative miscellaneous information brochures with regard to hydrogen and fuel cell applications were created. EMCEL provided detailed information and contributed several comprehensive articles.
