摘要: |
Fuel cells are an environmentally clean, quiet, and a highly efficient method for generating electricity and heat from natural gas and other fuels. Researchers at the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) have actively participated in the development and application of advanced fuel cell technology since fiscal year 1993 (FY93). CERL selected and evaluated application sites, supervised the design and installation of fuel cells, actively monitored the operation and maintenance of fuel cells, and compiled 'lessons learned' for feedback to the manufacturer for commercially available fuel cell power plants installed at Department of Defense (DoD) locations. This report presents an overview of the information collected at Fort Eustis, Newport News, VA, along with a conceptual fuel cell installation layout and description of potential benefits the technology can provide at that location. Similar summaries of the site evaluation surveys for the remaining sites where CERL has managed and continues to monitor fuel cell installation and operation are available in the companion volumes to this report. |
