“…These units serve as "electricity producing heaters" and offer a highly efficient alternative to conventional heating systems. Fuel cell based micro-combined heat and power systems are widely known to have the capacity to contribute substantially to improving the overall energy system for residential level [21,22]. Most customers rely on centralized electricity that is traditionally produced and delivered to the grid.…”

This paper covers the hydrogen technologies regarding the role of hydrogen as an energy carrier and the possibilities of its production and use. It is initially presented the modalities and the efficiency of the current technologies of obtaining hydrogen, detailing its obtaining by the electrolysis of the water, the electrochemical efficiency and the specific consumption of electricity as well as the thermodynamics of the electrochemical processes. The following paragraph addresses hydrogen conversion possibilities. This paragraph details the thermodynamic analysis of the fuel cell, the external characteristic of the fuel cell and the types of fuel cell. The last paragraph addresses the possibilities of using the fuel cells for electrical vehicles and cogeneration systems for buildings.In this context, the traditional transport and distribution grid will have to adapt to the new realities as they will need to actively participate in the internal energy market by the transformation of the traditional electricity grid in energy flow, from unidirectional to bidirectional through the production of hydrogen offering the same facilities as the gas grid.

This paper shows the experimental realization of a complete autonomous cogeneration system comprising of a fuel cell unit and a gas condensing device. Both the electrical and thermal output of the fuel cell is 0.72 kilowatt, while the total thermal output of the fuel cell including the condensing heating device is 25 kilowatts. The present paper also presents all the components and monitoring measurements of the electrical and thermal values. The thermal control strategy is adopted for this system. On the overall, this unit serves as "electricity producing heaters" and offers a highly efficient alternative to conventional heating systems.

“…While [7] focuses on heat-driven operation under existing support schemes, we put forward policy scheme suggestions and required national levels and thus, extend previous work [6,39]. Regarding systems integration, [4] stress that the dynamic operation of fuel cells to respond to variations of intermittent generation is important.…”

This study presents a holistic approach for the commercialisation of fuel cells for stationary applications. We focus our analyses on microCHP based on SOFC units fired with natural gas. We analyse the interaction of operational strategies under different ownership arrangements, required support levels and system integration aspects. The operational strategies, support mechanisms and ownership arrangements have been identified through actor analyses involving experts from Denmark, France and Portugal. With regard to operational strategies, the actor analyses led us to distinguishing between a heat-driven strategy, with and without time-differentiated tariffs, and an electricity-price driven strategy for the operation as a virtual power plant. The corresponding support schemes identified cover feed-in tariffs, net metering and feed-in premiums. Additionally, the interplay of the microCHP units with the national energy systems has been analysed. Our main findings are that net metering ould be an appropriate tool to support FC based microCHP in Denmark, hereas a price premium would be the preferable tool in France and Portugal. w w
