Abstract
The preparation of first Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) demonstration in
an office building environment located in Finland is currently taking place.
In this context, standardization situation has been scanned worldwide. In
addition, all requirements concerning connection of SOFC system to the public
networks have been explored and solutions consulted with authorities and
owners of the local heating and electricity networks. There is a limited
number of district heating connection schemes in Finland pre-elaborated for
application in certain types of buildings. None of the existing solutions
takes readily into account the possibility of heat generation on site. A new
configuration has been elaborated for combination of the SOFC fuel cell system
with the otherwise typical district heating connection scheme applicable for
an office building. The paper provides technological background, summarizes
the regulatory requirements and presents new solution for integrating SOFC
fuel cell with the office building connected to district heating system
