Stuart Energy Awarded Patent for Hydrogen Station Networking

Stuart Energy Systems Corporation recently announced it has been granted a U.S. patent regarding hydrogen energy stations that are networked with primary energy resources and a controller for controlling hydrogen production according to data inputs such as user demand, availability of energy and hydrogen production status.

According to Stuart Energy, a central controller is critical in managing the inventories of hydrogen in a network and providing related information to hydrogen users; matching the electricity available to produce the hydrogen at a station; and balancing the supply of electricity and hydrogen with the demand of the fuel users or certain power applications.

"This patent is an important and powerful addition to our growing portfolio," said Stuart Energy president and CEO Jon Slangerup. "It covers a number of Stuart Energy's developments for effectively managing a network of hydrogen energy stations, which is becoming increasingly critical for our customers who operate hydrogen vehicle fleets, fueling networks and distributed power networks."
