RENEWABLE ENERGY

The National Tropical Botanical Gardens (NTBG) in Kauai , Hawaii is installing a hybrid renewable energy power system to demonstrate concepts of green energy production using a demonstration fuel cell project.

In the interest of sustainable design, Reyes Engineering, Inc. is pleased to be involved with the lighting and electrical design portion of the fuel cell system. Components involved with the design include: LED lighting, photovoltaic arrays, electrolyzer, three 1kW fuel cells, and a control system to monitor and regulate the amount of energy being used.

Other Potential Alternative Energy Projects

Investigating use of photovoltaic for a new district library and community center that will have approximately 35,000 square feet of roof surface available for installation of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) systems. Maximum power production from the installation would be almost 200 KW for an average of 4 hours per day, for a total of over 250 Megawatt Hours per year.

Also investigating possibility of using BIPV materials in conjunction with fuel cells to provide a stand-alone off-grid solution for future transit shelters.

Another possibility involves providing a fuel cell demonstration facility incorporated in tenant retail space in a parking structure to be built in eastern Oregon, including the possibility of using BIPV m aterials, as well, to provide additional renewable energy, perhaps generating hydrogen for the fuel cell on-site.
