Study of energy saving effect and catch up to electric demand of fuel cell for residence with detailed measurement survey in an actual house

After The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, to solve a problem of electricity supply and demand, OSG(On-Site-Generation) can be a solution. Fuel Cell Co-Generation System (FCCGS) is one of these. But there are few and far between studies about performance not laboratory measurement or simulation studies but measurement survey in actual houses. In this study, we measure FCCGS that is Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC) in actual house and make clear energy saving effect, equipment characteristics and catch up performance of electricity power output for home side demand changing.
