All three MTU Onsite Energy technologies for continuous, peak and emergency standby power generation will be going into joint operation for the first time on the same site at the Gießen location of the University Clinic of Gießen and Marburg. The natural-gas-powered Type GR 385 N5 CHP modules and the HM346 HotModule fuel cell will be harnessed together to produce electricity, heat and cooling for the clinic whilst the diesel engines will power emergency standby gensets. The photomontage shows the entire complex of facilities including the new clinic building which is scheduled to go into service in spring 2011.

Three natural-gas-powered Type GR 385 N5 CHP modules from MTU Onsite Energy are to be combined with an HM346 HotModule fuel cell to provide electricity, heat and cooling at the Gießen location of the University Clinic of Gießen and Marburg. The fuel cell will cover base load requirements with the CHP modules being switched in or off automatically as required. Together with two MTU diesel engines which power the site’s emergency standby gensets, this project will see all three MTU Onsite Energy technologies in joint operation for the first time.
