✦ Synopsis

Abstract

System simulations are performed in order to calculate the economic efficiency of a PEM fuel cell system. The simulation model is developed using the well‐established MATLAB/Simulink platform. The major input parameters are measured data for the heat and power consumption of a detached house with a conventional heating system and Fuel Cell Energy Center design parameters.

The simulation compares the house with a conventional heating system with electrical power supplied by the grid to the same house with a cogeneration fuel cell heating system. The natural gas consumption and the electrical power consumption of the house are analyzed for both systems. Furthermore, the reduction in the CO~2~ emissions is calculated. Calculations are made for summer, winter, autumn, and spring, to investigate the influence of the seasons.
