Follow-On 40-kW Field Test Support Program. Annual Report, 1985. Application Guide for Fuel Cells in Commercial Buildings

摘要

The report describes a methodology for identifying and characterizing prospective customers for on-site fuel cell energy service. The methodology consists of a series of screening techniques and characterization data integrated into a simplified analysis approach that will enable the economics and energy use in an application to be estimated either from the electric and gas billing data or from building floor area. The procedures and characterization data described here were based on the results of the analysis of building and fuel cell test data collected by the participants in the GRI sponsored 40-kW On-Site Fuel Cell Program.
