The C&S Engineering Solutions five person engineering team represents over 100 cumulative years of engineering expertise in electrical and systems engineering and program management, automotive electronics, electronics manufacturing, and embedded microprocessor hardware controls and software prototyping.
C&S Engineering Solutions, located in Grand Blanc, Michigan, will assist with the development of the GEI X5 embedded processor control system and application software development.
As GEI Global prepares to launch the X5 natural gas fuel cell electric power generator for Italy in 2014 for the stationary grid-independent primary power market for commercial real estate, C&S Engineering Solutions will play a vital role towards remote monitoring, electrical durability, and cost reduction. Dr. Berry, GEI chairman and CEO, says: "C&S Engineering Solutions brings a wealth of technical high-level knowledge and expertise that will rapidly accelerate our product development cycle. We are indeed very fortunate to be so closely located within a few miles of each other."
The GEI X5 is an industry and technology game changer; it is a "hybrid" fuel cell power system which incorporates a high temperature PEM (Polymer Exchange Membrane) fuel cell and a high-density energy storage system. Because batteries and ultra-caps are excellent at satisfying high instant power demands, as such GEI fuel cell power systems can be sized to meet nominal power requirements and can be integrated with solar and wind projects to achieve maximum system efficiency.
Additionally, due to the ability to use multiple fuels, such as natural gas and bio-renewable fuels, the GEI GLOBAL fuel cell power systems architecture removes the fuel as a barrier for global commercialization.
