Abstract :
We have studied the characteristics of a shared distribution fuel cells system which is shared by a community center and many houses surrounding it. The system was confirmed to be effective. The utilization factor of the fuel cells was improved by about 20%, decreasing the generation cost of fuel cells and the environmental burden
