Abstract
Fuel cells offer an environmentally sound, distributed
energy source for individual buildings. Many governments
believe that security and sustainability of energy supply
can be improved with this technology. Therefore large
public support programmes are
under way to facilitate the commercialization of
residential fuel cell systems. VTT is actively
participating in this development work in a number of
projects.
Modelling and simulation tools have been developed to
provide the means for studying the interaction between
fuel cell system and a building.
VTT initiated in 2004 development of a PEM fuel cell
based power stack and developed its control system and
operating strategies.
VTT supports local industry in developing technologies
for SOFC systems, e.g. fuel processing for natural gas
and diesel. The most important accomplishment has been
the development of a 5 kW SOFC CHP laboratory
demonstration plant fuelled by natural gas.
The plant was grid connected and successfully operated
for 6500 hours.
