This presentation will describe work done by Proton Energy Systems in collaboration with Army ERDC/CERL, to develop ahydrogen energy storage system based on Proton's high pressure electrolysis technology. The project to be described is consistent with the stated goals of Secretary of the Army Peter Geren, who has made Energy Security a service priority.In his words: "By making greater use of alternative and renewable energy, Army initiatives will bring energy savings and security to the Army, reducing the risk of power disruption." ERDC/CERL has a long history of supporting innovative energy and power technology deployment at the installation level. Currently, there are a number of installation energy directives guiding development and demonstration activity in the ERDC/CERL domain. Various technologies are being deployed at bases across the country to demonstrate feasibility in supporting these directives. One such promising technology that is being tested in different system configurations is the PEM fuel cell. PEM fuel cells have been installed in more DOD and civilian applications than any other fuel cell technology. They also represent the highest TRL level and commercial-ready configuration available.
