Fuel Cell Power Systems
Inventor of the fuel cell | CLICK ON IMAGE
We have been following the developmental trajectory of another “alternative energy” – related consensus product — NFPA 853 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fuel Cell Power Systems — a document that sets the criteria for minimizing fire hazards associated fuel cells power generating technology installations; many of which are pre-engineered and pre-packaged by manufacturers.
Keep in mind that it is an installation standard and “agnostic” about the type of fuel cell technology. As such, it is likely referenced in energy project design guidelines and construction contract specifications. From the document prospectus:
Scope: This standard shall apply to the design, construction, and installation of stationary fuel cell power systems and shall include the following:
(1) A singular prepackaged, self-contained power system unit
(2) Any combination of prepackaged, self-contained power system units
(3) Power system units comprising two or more factory-matched modular components intended to be assembled in the field
(4) Engineered and field-constructed power systems that employ fuel cells.
The current edition of NFPA 853 is dated 2015
The NFPA Technical Committee on Electric Generating Plants has already begun work on the 2020 revision. A selection of First and Second Draft documents are posted below:
NFPA 853_F2019_ECG_AAA_SDmeetingagenda_04_19
NFPA 853_F2019_ECG_AAA_FDmeetingagenda_04_18
Response to the Second Draft Report under NFPA’s NITMAM process are due August 29th.
We normally collaborate with the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee on consensus products of this nature because that is where the most informed locus of expertise lies. That committee meets online four times monthly in European and American time zones. We also host our own codes and standards for power and telecommunication systems teleconference every month. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

Sensors and Controls for Building Energy Management
“City of Washington from Beyond the Navy Yard” | George Cooke (1833)
The Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE-EERE) invites public comment on its Request for Information (RFI) on research and development opportunities for innovations in sensors and controls for building energy management. Through this RFI, the COE-EERE seeks input on research and development opportunities for the integration and optimization of systems at the whole-building level through connected and controllable loads for increased energy affordability, improved occupant comfort, and enhanced provision of grid services that will strengthen the integration between buildings, other distributed energy resources, and the electric grid. This RFI will inform BTO’s strategic planning moving forward in identifying early-stage and innovative technology solutions to meet these goals. Successful solutions will strengthen the affordability, reliability, and resiliency of the energy consumed by the buildings sector, contributing to DOE’s priorities for the energy sector as a whole.
The Notice of Request for Information (RFI) is linked below:
Responses are due June 3rd.
We will place this item on the agenda of our monthly Energy Standards teleconference. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.
