The project uncovered a new and important installation consideration more » for propane fuel cells. Another strength of fuel cell performance in the demonstration was the low requirements for maintenance and repair on the fuel cell. The fuel cell performed well over the 1-year demonstration period in terms of availability and efficiency of conversion from chemical energy (propane) to electrical energy at the fuel cell output terminals. relatively low overall system efficiency Each of these issues is discussed in detail in the text of this report.relatively poor power quality as quantified by the IEEE-defined short term flicker parameter.The use of a fuel cell at constant output power through a 120-Volt inverter leads to system performance issues including:

The project demonstrated that it is technically feasible to meet the whole-house electrical energy needs of a typical upstate New York residence with a 5-kW fuel cell in combination with in-home energy storage without any major modifications to the residence or modifications to the consumption patterns of the residents of the home. This demonstration project contributes to the knowledge base in the area of fuel cells in stationary applications, propane fuel cells, edge-of-grid applications for fuel cells, and energy storage in combination with fuel cells.
