Abstract: The capacity reduction of a solid-polymer-membrane-type fuel cell (PEFC) with a reformer by load leveling and by improving the efficiency of part-load operation of the reformer is considered. ...

Abstract: The energy supply method by distributed power supply is expected from the transportation loss of the power and a decrease in heat. The system using especially renewable energy and a fuel cell ...

Abstract: The power load pattern of an individual house is a set of loads that fluctuate rapidly. If it is controlled to follow a system at rapid load fluctuation, depending on the response characteristics ...

Abstract: The power generation efficiency and power cost of an independent microgrid that distributes the power from a small diesel engine power generator was investigated using numerical analysis. The ...

Abstract: The small-scale bioethanol steam reforming system (FBSR), using sunlight applied to a heat source, is a very clean method, which can supply fuel to a fuel cell. However, it is difficult to ...

Abstract: Power demand patterns, such as for houses, fluctuate sharply. Therefore, if fuel cell cogeneration is installed in a house, partial-load operations with low efficiency frequently occur. On the ...

Abstract: If energy-supplying microgrids can be arranged to operate with maximal efficiency, this will have a significant influence on the generation efficiency of the grid and will reduce greenhouse gas ...
