Fuel cells power generation

Perhaps the ultimate combined appliances, which are currently under development, will he microturbines or fuel cell power generators used as small-scale co-generation systems. These would supply not only electricity, but space and water heating as well.

CH4 the efficiency of the fuel cell power generation process could, therefore, approach 100%. 

Technical progress as well as investments in PEMFCs for transportation, stationary, portable, and micro fuel cell applications has been dramatic in recent years. The present view is ophmistic for fuel cell power generation the status is presently at the field trial level, or early commercialization stage, moving into volume commercialization. Although commercially viable, niche PEMFC applicahons exist today, the first commercial mass markets for fuel cells are expected to be for handheld electronic devices, PCs, and other portable devices.

It passed all the other tests required to confirm the system viability. Most important, and in spite of the responsibilities and complexities involved in the codes at a major urban site, the plant showed that it was possible for a fuel-cell power generating station to comply with the demands of the local authorities.
