Stationary fuel cell applications
- Stationary fuel cell applications
Stationary fuel cell applications (or stationary fuel cell power systems) are stationary (Not moving) fuel cell applications that are either connected to the electric grid (distributed generation) to provide supplemental power and as emergency power system for critical areas, or installed as a grid-independent generator for on-site service.
Codes and standards
"Stationary fuel cell applications" is a classification in FC Hydrogen codes and standards and fuel cell codes and standards. The other main standards are Portable fuel cell applications and Fuel cell vehicle.
*Fuel cell gas appliances up to 70 kW
*Installation permitting guidance for hydrogen and fuel cells stationary applications
*Standard for the installation of stationary fuel cell power systems
Applications
More than 2500 fuel cell systems have been installed all over the world — in hospitals, nursing homes, hotels, office buildings, schools, utility power plants
Emergency power system
Emergency power systems are a type fuel cell system, which may include lighting, generators and other apparatus, to provide backup resources in a crisis or when regular systems fail.
Cogeneration
Cogeneration can be used when the fuel cell is sited near the point of use, its waste heat can be captured for beneficial purposes. Micro combined heat and power (MicroCHP) is usually less than 5 kWe in a house or small business [ [http://www.cogen.org/about/workinggroup_microcogeneration.htm] ] .
