Abstract
The authors review the application, installation, and start-up of a 200 kW natural gas fuel cell on an existing health care-facility power system. The unit applied had an overall efficiency, including thermal utilization, calculated at 85%. It is concluded that the fuel cell is a viable technology, suitable for institutional power system application. It can generate high-quality electricity in an environmentally safe, efficient manner, requiring minimum supervision
