| Scope |
This Code provides test procedures, methods and definitions for the
performance characterization of fuel cell power systems. Fuel cell power
systems include all components required in the conversion of input fuel
and oxidizer into output electrical and thermal energy. Performance
characterization of fuel systems includes evaluating system energy
inputs and electrical and thermal outputs to determine
fuel-to-electrical energy conversion efficiency and where applicable the
overall thermal effectiveness. These efficiencies will be determined to
an absolute uncertainty of less than ± 2% at a 95% confidence level.
(For example, for a calculated efficiency of 40%, the true value lies
between 38% and 42%.)
