Description
|
The station, which will cost $4.5 million, is the first piece of infrastructure in the development of a sustainable energy engineering academic program. It will operate as both a teaching and research resource for the campus, allowing for the study of sustainably produced hydrogen and its commercial viability. The facility will also serve as a public station, open to those driving hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and buses in the Los Angeles area.
The compressors and storage arrived in November 2010. The electrolyzer and other units were moved onsite on their foundations in January 2011.
First and second stage compressors for fast filling at 70 MPa
electrolyser by Hydrogenics
water purification equipment cooling system
grid-tied and powered by 100% renewable
The station has passed H2 purity testing and has had the first fueling at 350 bar. CSULA will continue to test fueling protocols to verify the station readiness before opening to the public.
Opening is planned for March-April 2012.
