Stationary Fuel Cell Generators: Enabling a More Reliable Grid in a high BEV World

The massive rollout of BEV''s and rapid increas in variable renewable sources will put enormous burdens on the grid, while regulations phase out diesel generators, and fire danger increases. This seminar explores how commercial hydrogen fuel cell generators can be applied to ease this burden, for backup power, charging EV trucks and buses during grid outages, and keeping operations moving at fleet facilities.

About Tim Sasseen

Tim started work with Ballard over 20 years ago, leading the engine control software development team for the first Mercedes fuel cell buses that were deployed in public service across seven European cities. Tim has served in Ballard?s Field Service team in Europe, coordinating field operations when these buses were delivered and deployed, and lead the Electrical Engineering design team for Ballard?s 6th generation of fuel cell module. Outside of Ballard, Tim has worked extensively in the wind energy, where his teams designed mid-sized wind turbines, megawatt-scale power systems, and advanced power converters. Tim earned his MBA at UCSD while working in microgrid design and renewable generation project development, before returning to Ballard in 2018 for his present position, where he directs Ballard?s market development and public affairs for North America. In addition to the MBA, Tim has earned Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in electrical engineering from Michigan Technological University.
