Abstract :
The province of Ontario has introduced a new program called the Clean Energy Standard Offer Program to encourage the development of new clean generation capacity in the province. The possibility exists in the near future that generation IV nuclear power plants will provide cost effective and reliable delivery of hydrogen to residences in Ontario. Hybrid generation consisting of a hydrogen fuel cell and photovoltaic arrays installed in a large number of residences can meet 45% of the annual demand for all of the residences of a representative city during the hours of peak demand.
