Twenty years, one recurring problem
Every company starts with a frustration. For Harshal Sankhe, founder and CEO of hygrid, it was backup power.
Harshal has spent two decades designing critical infrastructure in the UK: power for hospitals, data centres and industrial facilities. On project after project, the same question came up. What happens when the grid fails?
"Grid does fail when people need it the most. And the backup is dirty diesel. That frustration became hygrid."
A power plant in a container
His answer is a fuel cell power plant that fits in a shipping container. It is plug and play, and it fits into existing facilities. Inside, a solid-oxide fuel cell turns gas into electricity and heat electrochemically, without combustion. It is fuel flexible: natural gas today, biomethane and hydrogen as they become available.
Every unit runs on hygridOS, the software that monitors, controls and optimises it. A site gets cleaner, continuous power on its own premises, without its team having to become power engineers.
