/ NFCRC / APEP / UCICL / UCI-SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

FUEL CELL APPLICATIONS AND MARKETING INTEGRATIONS

Session 2
June 25, 2003

This session will include:

Representatives from industry and academia will overview the different market applications for fuel cells including:

Stationary Power
Transportation Power
Portable Power

We will look at the different applications, the benefits and hurdles (technical and market) to introduction, policy and regulations affecting those markets and the players involved. The use of case studies will illustrate the issues.

A look at the issues involved in the integration of fuel cells into the built environment including: building design, electricity integration; waste heat recovery: absorption chilling, hot water, electricity; load profile engineering; and direct current (DC) distribution and use.
An overview of the issues relating to the development of a hydrogen infrastructure.
