Moorhead Partners with BWR Innovations for Hydrogen Microgrid Backup Power System
The City of Moorhead is collaborating with BWR Innovations to implement a hydrogen microgrid system for backup power to its IT server room. The project, funded by a nearly $170,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Commerce, aims to provide cleaner energy during outages, avoiding emissions from traditional gas generators. The hydrogen fuel cells will generate 20 kilowatts of electricity, featuring a telemetry system for efficient power management. BWR Innovations is exploring broader applications of hydrogen technology in other sectors.

Moorhead is working with BWR Innovations to develop a hydrogen microgrid system for backup power to its IT server room, funded by a $170,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Commerce. The system will provide cleaner energy alternatives to gas generators, generating electricity from hydrogen gas and atmospheric air.
It will produce 20 kilowatts and include a telemetry system for managing power supply and demand. The project aims to support emergency services and aligns with the city's clean energy goals. BWR Innovations also seeks to apply hydrogen technology in city buildings, military, trucking, and farming.
