Florestan Technology's groundbreaking microturbine system offers unparalleled multifuel flexibility, transforming diverse renewable and traditional fuels into efficient power, heating, and cooling, all within a compact, easily deployable design.
Florestan Technology Microturbines are lower-cost alternatives to existing microturbines and fuel cell technologies.
Florestan Technology Microturbines overcome the primary limitation of existing microturbine systems which have high development and manufacturing costs due to their complex power electronic components and specialised maintenance requirement. Fuel Cells are generally more expensive than microturbines, have slower transient responses to changes in load demand, and require high-purity hydrogen, which also impacts operating costs.
Our innovative gearbox design, integrating well-proven and mass-produced off-the-shelf components, aims to enhance cost-efficiency, reducing upfront costs by 30-40% during the pre-production phase. This eliminates the current barrier to widespread adoption of microturbines and even offers a lower-cost alternative to diesel generators at commercial scale-up.
The clean energy transition poses a significant risk for investors and energy users. In Florestan, we aim to provide not only a clean energy system but also energy security and resilience to minimize the occurrence of energy system disruptions.
During the initial stage of green hydrogen commercialisation, the hydrogen market will fluctuate in terms of availability and price. During this phase, Fuel Cells will be limited to niche applications and non-critical power generation. Hydrogen Fuel Cells cannot operate with other fuels and require high-purity Hydrogen. This limitation not only affects operational costs but also poses a high risk of energy disruption and high investment risk.
Florestan Technology Microturbines are designed to run on 100% low-purity Green Hydrogen as well as other sustainable fuels and their blends, a necessary feature for providing a seamless transition to clean energy while ensuring energy security and resilience.
Florestan Technology Microturbines will offer a low financial and operational risk solution for existing Diesel Generator users to gradually adopt net-zero emissions technology.
Florestan Technology Microturbines are designed from the core with a focus on the user experience, providing an intuitive user interface and a modular architecture.
Florestan Microturbines incorporate off-the-shelf alternators, offering a familiar and widely compatible 3-phase, synchronous electric output for existing residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
For Diesel Generator users, switching to Florestan Microturbines will provide a seamless experience requiring minimal training and cost for their existing personnel, with the additional benefit of a state-of-the-art microcontroller-based monitoring and control system for real-time operability and predictive maintenance.
Florestan Technology microturbines are versatile and efficient to transport and install. Unlike existing generators of an equivalent power output, the compact and lightweight modular unit was designed to fit on a UTE, and be easily maneuvered by a single person with a pallet jack, and at its destination even fits in a service elevator. This transportability is also ideal for off-grid, remote generation, and applications in Defence and humanitarian deployments.
Multipurpose Gearbox Design and Off-the-shelf Components:
Florestan Microturbines are adaptable, modular, and easy to interface with commercial off-the-shelf components, ensuring high reliability and low cost.
Florestan Technology has developed a series of design codes and patents to provide custom gearbox solutions for a wide range of applications, including aerospace, propulsion, and gas and liquid compression for industry and Defence.
Advanced User Interface and Communication Port:
Florestan Technology systems feature intuitive and user-friendly controls, with cross-platform interfaces that run on Android, iOS, and Windows. This enables easy operation and control, whether directly or remotely.
Our Digital Twin and Energy Intelligence tools can help anticipate system failures before they happen and help deal with the complexity of the future clean energy market.
Compact Physical Dimensions:
Florestan Microturbines have a compact design and are light-weight, allowing them to fit into tight spaces such as rooftop buildings and remote locations.
Easy Transport and Installation: Florestan Technology systems are modular and pre-packaged units that can be easily transported and installed on-site. They do not require extensive civil works or infrastructure, saving time and money.
Scalable: Florestan Technology's design, modelling and development capabilities cover a wide range of microturbine power systems, ranging from 1 kW to 250 kW. Currently, two versions have been developed: CTG (3 kW) and MTS (80 kW). Florestan's systems can operate in stand-alone mode or in grid mode.
Florestan's Microcontroller System, with built-in internet connectivity, allows smart grid configuration with an unlimited number of interconnected Florestan Technology Generators to meet power demands of 10MW or more. When combined with centralised Energy Intelligence capability, it enables larger-scale optimisation and lifecycle management, grid-level performance enhancement, and overall reliability improvement.
The multifuel capability of Florestan Technology Microturbines will facilitate the transition to clean hydrogen fuel. Florestan Microturbines are small, efficient, and flexible power generators that can operate on a variety of fuels, including natural gas, propane, diesel, biofuels and hydrogen. By having the capability to run on multiple fuels, Florestan Technology will provide a platform for transition to clean hydrogen fuel by allowing for the gradual integration of hydrogen into the existing fuel resources. This helps maintain grid stability and enables harmonious collaboration with other renewable energy sources such as wind turbines and solar panels.
Another advantage of the Florestan Technology Power System over fuel cells or diesel generators is its capability to be used in trigeneration applications using hydrogen. This significantly enhances energy system efficiency while achieving net-zero emissions.
Florestan Power Systems will incorporate advanced measurement and digital processing systems to offer real-time performance analysis, delivering comprehensive energy information on efficiency and predictive energy balance. This leads to a more stable and reliable grid.
