PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION OF PEM FUEL CELLS AS MINIATURE HOUSEHOLD CO-GENERATION PLANTS IN MUNICH

摘要

We are currently observing rapid changes in international local energy market structures. The general trend towards competitiveness can be subsummized under terms like liberalization, deregulation and privatization [1]. Starting in the U.S. with the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act in 1978 various European countries like the UK and Norway followed. Restructuring the energy system will eventually lead to a unification of large electricity and gas suppliers, and to efficient small energy service companies installing decentral, flexible and low cost energy conversion technologies.
