The document proposes a "Mini-Power Unit" (MPU) that combines green energy sources to generate 500Kw of power. The MPU contains a 300Kw fuel cell that provides base load power. It also has four 50Kw engines that use waste heat from the fuel cell to generate additional power during peak loads. Multiple MPUs would be placed throughout an area and remotely monitored and controlled from a central control center. The MPU increases energy output and efficiency while dividing large power generation into smaller distributed units to provide a more stable grid.

Theory:
Combine two forms of green energy power generation into one small 500 Kw utility box (called “Mini‐
Power Units” or MPU) that can be remotely located and controlled over a wide area and can provide
base load power as well as cycle plant power (to rapidly response to peak load demands).
Basic Concept:
One of the combined forms of green energy power generation is a 300 Kw Fuel cell powered from
Natural Gas or Propane (Fuel Cell Energy DFC300MA 300 Kw Power Plant). This Power Plant will act as
base load running continuously as required by the Grid. Each Fuel Cell will be scheduled to be shut down
once every quarter for PM.
The other combined form of green energy power generation will be four (4) 50 Kw Power Plants whose
engine is driven by waste heat from the fuel cell and which can be turned off and on as demanded. This
is “new technology” and is not widely known about. These will act as cycle plants for peak loading.
These are called the Liberator and are produced by Power Verde, Inc. Each Cycle Plant engine will be
scheduled to be shut down once every quarter for PM and will have real‐time vibration and temperature
monitoring (CBM).
The basic combined system (minus additional plumbing and electrical cables) would be for the most part
self‐contained in a hardened, easily movable utility boxes (MPU) about 10’Wx20’Lx10’H. These MPUs
would be small enough to be positioned at individual home or small business sites without making a
huge “eyesore” or creating a space problem.
Multiple MPUs would be placed at individual home or small business sites throughout an area and
linked to the grid via smart meters. Some co‐arrangement with the home owner/business owner would
have to be developed so that it is a win/win situation for both the property owner and the power
company placing the unit on the property.
A pre‐determined number of MPUs (let’s say 500 equaling 250 Mega Watts of power generation) would
be remotely linked to a site or area control center (ACC) similar to the control center of a large 665
Mega Watt power plant. Operators would control and monitor all MPUs and follow all energy
production rules and regulations in their operating area or site.
Site or area control centers would be linked to larger district or regional control centers (RCC) for
monitoring and power distribution management.
A remote control master main line connector/disconnect would be controlled by the ACC and RCC
allowing immediate disconnect of any group of MPUs in the event of an emergency on the grid where all
power needed to be removed.

2. The 300 Kw fuel cell, being base load, would in most cases be started manually on site to ensure the
system is running normally, but remote controls for shut down and start up would be available at the
ACC. All equipment operating parameters would be monitored by the ACC.
The four 50 Kw Power Plants (being cycle plants) would be started and shut down remotely based on
needs. All operating parameters would be monitored by the ACC.
How it works:
Operation is simple. The hydrogen fuel cell which is fueled with propane or natural gas would generate
stable base load electricity of 300 Kw. In the process, the fuel cell heats water to approximate 720
degree F which discharges at approximate 6 gallons per minute (as recyclable water). This 720 degree F
water at 6 gallons per minute provides enough waste heat to power four of the Power Verde 50 Kw
waste heat driven power plants. These four power plants provide another 200 Kw of electrical power
(using no additional fuel). Once the water exits a power plant, it still must be cooled to a lower degree
before it can be sent back to the fuel cell for reuse. This is done in two ways: first a water‐to‐water heat
exchanger is placed in the loop as the water heads back to the fuel cell. This heat exchanger can provide
hot water for house hold or business use. Second, as the hot water waste stream exits the heat
exchanger, if it has not cooled to an acceptable level to reenter the fuel cell, it is routed into an
underground loop for further cooling.
Benefits:
Increases green energy output from 300 Kw to 500 Kw with no increase in fuel consumption (producing
.5 Mw of power at a fuel cost of 300 Kw). That essentially increase the efficiency of this power plant to
around 80% efficient. The only other green power generation in the world that is this clean and efficient
is hydro. It is virtually “getting something for nothing”. The extra 200 Kw is generated from a heat waste
and consumes zero energy (except that required to run liquid pumps and control voltage) during the
production process.
Zero pollution. Replaces power plants that generate greenhouse gases with true Green Energy power
plants.
Provides for more stable and consistent energy production. Reduces risk that currently exist of large
base load system being brought down by mechanical, weather or even worse, terrorist
Divides a huge Megawatt generating capabilities into small individual units while maintaining the same
amount of combined energy output. This division of a very large power generation (such as a 665
Megawatt power plant) into smaller networked units spread out over a very large area completely
eliminates the possibility of immediate loss of a single large power generator (such as a 665 Megawatt
power plant) providing a very stable grid network versus what we have now.
