Fuel Cell Backup Power Unit Configuration and Electricity Market Participation: A Feasibility Study

Zhiwen Ma, Joshua Eichman, Jennifer Kurtz

Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

This National Renewable Energy Laboratory industry-inspired Laboratory Directed Research and Development project evaluates the feasibility and economics of using fuel cell backup power systems in cell towers to provide grid services (e.g., balancing, ancillary services, demand response). The work is intended to evaluate the integration of thousands of under-utilized, clean, efficient, and reliable fuel cell systems that are already installed in cell towers for potential grid and ancillary services.
