Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cells Test and Evaluation

Abstract

Fuel cell power plants can provide improvements in energy conservation and reduced environmental impacts for many DOD applications. Currently, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC/CERL) Fuel Cell Technology Program facilitates the development of Fuel Cell Technology. This work provided testing and evaluations of fuel cells in support of life-cycle-cost reduction and performance improvement goals. This program also undertook to provide the capability for independent design assessments of alternative technology fuel cell system configurations and components to achieve lower life cycle cost either through reduced capital cost, reduced operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, or increased performance and reliability.
