  • Publication number: 20210175533
    Abstract: A connecting element electrically and mechanically connects two electrolytic cell stacks. An electrolysis device includes at least one connecting element of this type and the electrolytic cell stacks are connected by the connecting element. For the hydraulic connection of the electrolytic cell stacks, the connecting element has at least two hydraulic interfaces for each of two water circuits, which water circuits are independent of each other. Furthermore, the connecting element has electrical connection points electrically connected to each other, in order to connect the electrolytic cell stacks in a common circuit. By the connecting element, the connected electrolytic cell stacks can be hydraulically separated or connected to each other, depending on the design.

  • Patent number: 9043336
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for providing corrective maintenance using global knowledge sharing. A method to provide corrective maintenance with a CM system includes performing a query to generate a ranking of fixable causes based on factors (e.g., symptoms, configuration, test). The ranking may be determined based on a fixable cause percent match with the factors. The ranking of fixable causes may be associated with one or more solutions for each fixable cause. The ranking can be updated based on performing tests or solutions.

  • Patent number: 8938966
    Abstract: A device and a method for using overcapacities in the power grid is provided. In case of an oversupply of energy, the energy is transferred to a thermal storage device directly via a heating element and in the discharge case of the thermal storage device the heat is removed from the thermal storage device and made available to a thermodynamic cycle whereby electrical energy is produced. The heat from the thermal storage device is used to preheat air in an air feed line to a combustion chamber, or fuel is pre-heated using heat from the thermal storage device.
