B-37 Study on Evaluation of Present Performance and Future of Residential Cogeneration Systems in Cold Region

Abstract

This study aims to examine possibility of efficient utilization of exhaust heat from fuel cells (PEFC) in summer. The numerical simulation and the demonstration experiment are conducted concerning residential hybrid fuel-cell cogeneration systems in consideration of utilization of exhaust heat from fuel cells for cooling, the contributing ratio of fuel cells for electricity demand and the effect of energy conservation are evaluated.
