On-Site Fuel Cell Energy Systems: The U.S. Air Force Field Test Demonstration Plan.

Abstract

The large scale application of fuel cell energy systems, electrochemical energy conversion devices, to facility operations, could result in significant benefits to the public and to the U.S. Air Force. This report summarizes the advantages and potential applications of fuel cells on an Air Force base, highlights the pertinent operational characteristics of a fuel cell, identifies the ongoing governmental and industrial programs that are aimed at commercializing this technology as early as the mid 1980's, and recommends and outlines a U.S. Air Force On-Site Fuel Cell Field Test Demonstration Program Plan.
