projects

NextGen's project portfolio includes an array of engineering and technical projects completed for original equipment manufacturers, research institutes, laboratories, universities and technology end-users.

Some of our project work includes the following;

Fuel-Cell Research Laboratory, Engineering & System Integration

NextGen completed the engineering, installation and commissioning of the fuel-cell research laboratory, consisting of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other industrial gas systems and equipment.  NextGen provided a complete system solution by handling all aspects of the project, including project management, code compliance support, and regulatory approval coordination.

The laboratory is currently being utilized by researchers to complete performance evaluations of PEM fuel-cell stacks, as well as evaluating fuel-cell stack configurations and testing new materials.

Research Laboratory, Engineering & Technical Support

NextGen completed several laboratory system and equipment upgrades and continues to provide a range of engineering and technical support services for hydrogen and related technology research projects. 

National Research Council for Fuel-Cell Innovation (NRC-IFCI), Canada

Hydrogen Fuel-Cell System

NextGen completed the design of a 350 bar (5,075 psig) hydrogen fuel-cell system, consisting of a Ballard Nexa PEM fuel-cell, a Dynetek compressed hydrogen cylinder and a NextGen Hydrogen Control Module.

The hydrogen fuel-cell system will be installed in a single occupant vehicle, that will be used to showcase PEM fuel-cell technology across Australia.

Eastern Fleurieu Hydrogen Vehicle Consortium, South Australia

Hydrogen Ground Storage System, Engineering & System Integration

NextGen completed the engineering, installation and commissioning of the 165 bar (2,400 psig) compressed hydrogen ground storage system.  As part of the project, NextGen provided the necessary project management, code compliance support and regulatory approval coordination. 

The hydrogen storage system will enable researchers to safely complete experiments in their fuel-cell research laboratory.
