Abstract :
The fuel cell could offer an attractive power generation option for electric utilities. This paper reviews the electric utilities´ efforts to develop this technology including the siting and construction of the 4.5 MW phosphoric-acid fuel cell demonstrator in New York City. The paper concludes that the fuel cell is moving from technology demonstration status toward commercial service in electric utility systems during this decade.
