10 'We've had strong feedback from customers -namely the energy companies -that field trials are an important step in understanding our customers' needs and gaining experience in actually integrating fuel cell units into an electricity network,' explains Dow. He adds that these trials allow the company to feed back its findings into product development, which will ultimately lead to more efficient and reliable fuel cell units.
Two demonstration units were dispatched to EWE last December, and installed and commissioned at the utility's headquarters in Oldenburg, Germany in January, after receiving CE approval [FCB, January]. A unit was delivered to Powerco in New Zealand in June 2005, and is installed at Industrial Research Ltd in Wellington. A second unit is due to be delivered to a Powerco partner in Tasmania, once the partner has completed site works [FCB, November 2005].
Meanwhile, szencorp has installed a demonstration unit in its ground-breaking energyefficient commercial office building at 40 Albert Road in South Melbourne. The unit was installed late last year and commissioned in January [FCB, January].
In addition, one unit was installed at Energy and Telecommunications Training Australia (ETTA)'s premises in Chadstone, Melbourne in August 2005, before being moved into the szencorp site. CFCL has had discussions with ETTA about installing a NetGen unit at the latter's site later this year.
