en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spain's Acciona has introduced a 200 kW hydrogen fuel generator for testing at its construction site on the northern dock of the Port of Valencia (Puerto de Valencia), replacing traditional diesel generator sets. The equipment is now operational on site, with the validation phase set to continue until mid-June.

Developed by France's Inocel, the generator integrates a 200 kW hydrogen fuel cell to power tower cranes involved in the operation of the caisson installation vessel Kugira. Kugira is responsible for manufacturing concrete caissons needed for the port expansion project, which plans to reclaim 126 hectares of land and build a new 2-kilometer-long dock.

The equipment installed on the dock belongs to the GEN‑Z series of portable solutions, specifically the 200 kW GEN‑Z 300 model. Its container houses an Inocel Z300‑S proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. According to the company, the system achieves 60% efficiency and can deliver maximum power output within 1.5 seconds.

Acciona emphasizes that the main innovation of this initiative lies in the power level of the equipment, enabling it to assess the feasibility of using hydrogen for high-energy construction machinery in locations without direct grid connections.
