Residential fuel cells

Global Thermoelectric of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, has successfully completed the testing of several latest generation prototype residential 2-kW fuel cell systems. The project is part of an alliance with Enbridge, Inc., and will help to commercialize residential fuel cell systems. [Pg.186]

The DOD has also begun a residential fuel cell demonstration program using polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells ranging in size from 1 to 20 kilowatts. This will include twenty-one PEM fuel cells at nine U.S. military bases. The first units were installed in 2002. [Pg.273]

As a clean energy source, hydrogen gas (H ) has potential if used in an electricity generating fuel cell (Caglar, 2003). Hj production by reforming of HC-based fuels in suitable fuel processors has become more and more important, in particular for both mobile and residential fuel cells applications (Specchia et al., 2005). [Pg.221]

The industrial processes for hydrogen production are well established [9, 30, 31], but may not be appropriate for small-scale stationary applications such as residential fuel cells or for unattended operation such as on-site hydrogen generation. These new applications allow for new process designs based on catalyst and engineering improvements [10, 32]. Hence a study of the ATR process has to involve both chemical and engineering aspects. [Pg.294]

The Austrian gas utility companies Energie AC Oberosterreich, Wienstrom, ESTAC and SAFE are testing PEM and SOFC residential fuel cell power plants from Sulzer Hexis and Vaillant companies. [Pg.114]

The overall residential fuel cell micro cogeneration system can be seen in Figure 1. The fuel processing is one of the sections of this whole system. [Pg.227]

For fuel processors directly integrated to a residential fuel cell H2 must be maximized and no pressure is available for PSA. In these cases a high- and low-temperature shift catalyst will be required. Hydrogen purification to reduce the CO to less than 10 ppm will be managed by preferential oxidation.33... [Pg.301]

Hydrogen for use in residential fuel cells can be produced from pipeline natural gas using a fuel processor. Assume that a residential, fuel-cell, electric-power generator with 5 kW electricity output has an efficiency of 50% (the electricity output from the fuel cell is 50% of the lower... [Pg.937]

SOFC and PEFC are competing in several stationary markets, with advantages to SOFC technology when reformed hydrocarbon or alcohol fuels are used. PEFC systems however have some distinct advantages in applications where frequent start-stop-cycles and extended periods of standstill are required such as in residential CHP applications. Therefore, more PEFC than SOFC units are ciurently in the field in Japan where market introduction of residential fuel cell systems has already taken place. SOFC systems are in the early phase of deployment. [Pg.278]

One percent of U.S. homes will have residential fuel cells between 2006 and 2010. When cell prices fall more a few years later, the units will be in half of all homes. And, by 2031, we ll all be off the grid."... [Pg.18]

Currently, about 90% of is produced via steam reforming of natural gas or light oil fraction [72]. The reformate contains 1-10% of CO, which is poisonous to the noble electrocatalysts in PEMFCs. The WGS reaction is a key step to produce and upgrade H. Moreover, for mobile and residential fuel cell applications, the WGS catalysts must be nonpyrophoric, active over a broad temperature range, and stable during frequent shutdown/start-up cycles. Zhai et al. demonstrated that the xPt-yNa-SiOj catalyst was highly active in low-temperature WGS reaction [73]. Using the HAADF-STEM technique, they identified that on the Na-modified... [Pg.86]

Japan is currently the leader when it comes to demonstration and commercialization of residential fuel cell systems. In recent years, the government has led a coordinated approach involving collaboration between several companies to reduce the cost of residential fuel cell systems and market them to consumers in an attractive way. [Pg.1140]

The U. S. Department of Defense has also run several stationary fuel cell activities, having demonstrated phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFCs) on military bases in the late 1990s and early 2000s, 91 small (1-5 kW) residential fuel cell systems through its PEM Residential Program between 2001 and 2004, and, most recently, is rolling out a program to demonstrate 44 PEM fuel cells for backup power at federal facilities [51]. [Pg.1145]
