Description
Summary:Two potential applications for a fuel cell power plant, sited/ transportable and mobile, were evaluated in this study. The major emphasis was centered on the sited/transportable application. The site chosen for analysis was an Air Force radar station in a remote region of Alaska, namely, the Seek Igloo Minimally Attended Radar (MAR) facility at Fort Yukon. The results of this study is that a life cycle cost savings of five million dollars per site would result by the use of fuel cells. The second application studied was a 100kw mobile fuel cell power plant. Result of the sited/transportable power plant design yielded a power plant that was adaptable to the mobile applications.
