Beacon Energy is a non-profit making company that aims to promote public awareness of global warming and encourage the reduction of CO2 emissions.
West Beacon Farm features numerous interlinked renewable energy technologies including wind turbines, photo-voltaic panels, a groundsource heat-pump system, a hydrogen energy storage system incorporating an electrolyser, storage tanks and two fuel cells, a combined heat and power unit powered by propane, solar water heating and two water powered generators.
These technologies enable Beacon Energy to be virtually independent from the national grid and fossil fuels. Each technology feeds its energy into a common DC bus via Unidrive SP AC drives from Control Techniques and further Unidrives feed on site single and three-phase electricity needs.
