Visiting Bloom Energy - Deputy Mayor Wang: Reference the experiences of Bloom Energy to develop independent power generation system in remote areas

When visiting Bloom Energy located at the Silicon Valley in the West Coast this morning on April 28th, Taoyuan City Deputy Mayor Wang Ming-Teh described the various advantages of “Energy Server Architecture” developed by Bloom Energy which include steady output, clean energy, stable prices, sustainable production, and capacity of working independently. These concepts happen to be fully aligned with Taoyuan’s recent focus on Smart City and circular economy. These solutions can be considered when Taoyuan develops green energy industries in the future, supplies immediate power resource in disaster, or provides independent power generation in remote areas. Deputy Mayor Wang also extended a warm welcome to Bloom Energy to establish an office in Taoyuan to benefit industrial and economic development for both sides.

Deputy Mayor Wang mentioned that the primary objective for the US tour was visiting various businesses and encouraging companies to set up offices in Taoyuan. Bloom Energy’s Energy Server Architecture is well developed and comes with fully automated production, making it the perfect benchmark that warrants a visit.

During the meeting, Chief Marketing Officer and Corporate Spokesperson Matt Ross of Bloom Energy introduced the modular and customized production process for their “Energy Server Architecture.” This revolutionized the traditional approach of centralized and large-scale manufacturing and allows the solution to be provided with various advantages that characterize emerging energy sources. The power generators could either operate independently or be integrated within centralized power grids. Power usage on the client’s end could also be referenced to adjust the power supply module, making it the perfect solution for modern societies that are characterized by distributed devices.

Matt also mentioned that since the fuel cells rely on natural gas or biogas as its source of energy which would be delivered via underground pipelines, the system would be less affected by typhoons or other natural disasters and improves the safety of the power system. Matt then described a few case studies which multinational companies originally purchased Bloom Energy’s power solutions as backup power. Excellent system performance led to these solutions becoming the main sources of power for the entire company. A featured case study for the reference of the Taoyuan City delegates was the fuel cell power generation system located at the lightwell platform in the SoftBank building in Japan. The limited environmental impact of the power system allowed people to establish a coffee stand right next to it.

Chief Operations Officer Susan Brennan of Bloom Energy mentioned that Bloom Energy has already built links with Taoyuan City (a number of its parts suppliers are located there), and believed that th
