Fuel Cell Power Model Version 2: Startup Guide, System Designs, and Case Studies, Modeling Electricity, Heat, and Hydrogen Generation from Fuel Cell-Based Distributed Energy Systems.

摘要

This guide helps users get started with the U.S. Department of Energy/National Renewable Energy Laboratory Fuel Cell Power (FCPower) Model Version 2, which is a Microsoft Excel workbook that analyzes the technical and economic aspects of high-temperature fuel cell-based distributed energy systems with the aim of providing consistent, transparent, comparable results. This type of energy system would provide onsite-generated heat and electricity to large end users such as hospitals and office complexes. The hydrogen produced could be used for fueling vehicles or stored for later conversion to electricity.
