[esp-r] CHP fuel cell

[Arnau Girona]

Dear all,


I am trying  to simulate the  performance of a CHP fuel cell for a building. I want to try different types/ sizes of fuel cells to supply the heating demand of a room/building - the electricity produced is either used in the building or sent to the grid.

I have found different fuel cells in the list of components of ESP-r:

  1.  Three node description of a residential fuel cell. (Generic type: fuel cell)
  2.  Three node description for a residential fuel cell (Generic type: -node residential SOFC with 2 connections)
  3.  PEM CHP fuel cell system supplying WCH loop; 1 node model
  4.  Empirical PEM hydrogen cogeneration fuel cell
  5.   IEA/ECBCS Annex 42 FC-cogeneration model.

Which FC is better to use for this case?

Can I find information about the technical settings of any of the FC?

Is there any good exemplar available with a FC CHP system?


Thanks in advance,

Arnau Girona
