Emerging Technologies: PEM Fuel Cells for Distributed Generation
When used in distributed generation (DG) applications, fuel cells have the potential to save energy and reduce emissions depending on the fuel-cell technology used, and their inherent fuel-flexibility could help address energy shortage issues through energy diversity. In addition, fuel cells have the potential to be quieter, more reliable, and have lower maintenance costs than most technologies used for DG.Citation: ASHRAE Journal, vol 48, no. 11, November 2006
