Program

ICEPAG 2006 emphasizes (1) hybrid fuel cell systems that range from 15kW to 300MW and are fueled by natural gas, coal, and renewable sources, (2) novel fuel cell cycles that feature a breadth of technological concepts (including chemical hybrids), and (3) hydrogen turbine technology.   Particular attention is directed to (1) the emerging international activity; (2) the development of the international market for hybrid technologies, novel fuel cell cycles, and hydrogen turbine technology; and (3) the potential for cooperation and collaboration among participating countries.  Applications of interest encompass central power generation, distributed generation, and mobile applications such as ship power, locomotive power, long-distance truck propulsive and hoteling power, and aircraft and spacecraft hoteling power. The colloquium features a series of presentations on the technological, environmental, regulatory, and market aspects of fuel cell hybrid, novel cycle technology, and hydrogen turbine technology.

An optional fuel cell hybrid tutorial short course is scheduled for the afternoon of September 5 to allow those interested to garner essential background on the fundamentals, design, deployment history, and operating characteristics of hybrid fuel cell systems.
