power application. The fuel cell system will supply electricity, with the byproduct heat coupled with an adsorption chiller.
The molten carbonate power plant will be located in Johnstown, Pennsylvania at FCTec, which is operated by Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC). CTC will operate and maintain the DFC300A in a combined power and cooling application utilizing natural gas, and will monitor, trend and report on operating and maintenance parameters of the DFC ant and heat recovery equipment, including auxiliaries.
CTC will leverage FCTec's resources to characterize the system's electrical and thermal output performance. This information will allow FCE to expand knowledge of the DFC power plant's electrical and thermal operating parameters, efficiency and system capabilities.
The unit's electrical output will provide some of the power for CTC's Environmental Technologies Facility. Thermal energy from the DFC will be used to support the input energy needs of an absorption chiller system. The absorption process utilizes thermal energy to create chilled water to support the facility's air-conditioning requirement. The system will subsequently be used to analyze the use of the available system heat output from the DFC power plant for trigeneration -the supply of electricity as well as chilled and hot water in a combined system.
Under the one-year program, FCE will retain title to the unit -which was used at the recent Democratic National Convention in Boston [FCB, September] -and cost-share with ERDC-CERL the labor to operate and maintain it.
