DIN EN 62282-3-200:2016-12

This part of IEC 62282 describes the power measurement of stationary fuel cell power systems for domestic, commercial, agricultural and industrial applications. The following fuel cell types are considered: - alkaline fuel cells (AFC); - phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC); - polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC); - molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC); - solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The standard covers operational and environmental aspects of the stationary fuel cell power systems performance. The test methods apply as follows: - power output under specified operating and transient conditions; - electrical and heat recovery efficiency under specified operating conditions; - environmental characteristics; for example, exhaust gas emissions, noise, and so on, under specified operating and transient conditions. This standard does not provide coverage for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This standard does not apply to small stationary fuel cell power systems with electric power output of less than 10 kW. Fuel cell power systems may have different subsystems depending upon types of fuel cell and applications, and they have different streams of material and energy into and out of them. However, a common system diagram and boundary has been defined for evaluation of the fuel cell power system. The following conditions are considered in order to determine the system boundary of the fuel cell power system: - all energy recovery systems are included within the system boundary; - all kinds of electric energy storage devices are considered outside the system boundary; - calculation of the heating value of the input fuel (such as natural gas, propane gas and pure hydrogen gas, and so on) is based on the conditions of the fuel at the boundary of the fuel cell power system. The responsible committee is DKE/K 384 "Brennstoffzellen" ("Fuel cells") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
