A Fuel Cell is a device that converts the chemical energy in a fuel directly to electrical energy. It requires fuel flow and oxygen flow, electrodes, and an electrolyte. Conventional technologies are the ones we use every day. Higher efficiency means lower fuel costs. Higher efficiency often comes at higher...
Thor Industries and ISE Research developed and manufactured the 30-foot ThunderPower bus an ElDorado coach. It uses a compressed hydrogen proton exchange membrane PEM fuel cell power plant developed by UTC Fuel Cells. This report provides an overview of the ThunderPower fuel cell bus demonstration at SunLine Transit Agency in...
Approximately two-thirds of the fuel used to generate electricity in the United States is wasted in the form of discarded heat. Combined heat and power systems produce electricity or mechanical power and capture recoverable heat for process use. Currently, only 7 percent of this country's electricity is provided by cooling,...
This paper describes about electricity storage and distributed generation. Residential Fuel Cell Generators are being developed by several companies. Generator supplying single household sees non-coincident load behavior. Both microturbines and fuel cell generators benefit from energy storage. Many technologies identified for electrical energy storage are developed, but not yet commercialized.
The paper describes about a program conducted by the U. S. DOE for the Distributed Energy Resources Program/ Peer Review. The major energy challenges for America over the demand for energy rising across the board are especially electricity and gas. Energy infrastructure is woefully antiquated and inadequate and a competitive...
The paper describes about fuel cells for building program by the Office of Distributed Energy Resources. The project is to build into the PEM fuel cells those characteristics that make it a prime component as a power generator and make maximum use of recoverable energy for cooling/heating and indoor air...
The basic aim of this white paper is to determine the test and evaluation protocols needed to advance implementation of these new technologies, as well as to document the necessary modifications to the transit agencies' maintenance and operation infrastructure. This paper describes the prototype bus, fueling infrastructure, and maintenance facility...
Today there is growing interest in distributed electricity generation, particularly onsite generation. This interest is stimulated by the reliability, power quality, and environmental needs of business and homeowners, as well as the availability of more efficient, environmentally friendly, modular electric generation technologies, such as microturbines, fuel cells, photovoltaics, and small...
This report summarizes work conducted by Arthur D. Little on behalf of the Department of Energy's Office of Industrial Technologies OIT. The OIT supports various programs that aim to significantly improve the resource efficiency and productivity of energy- and waste-intensive industries in the United States. Micropower is defined as microturbines,...
