Case Studies of Taiwan's Fuel Cell System Demonstration Program

Abstract:

In 2009, Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs, initiated a three year program, Fuel Cell Demonstration and Certification Subsidy Program. During the following years, Taiwans government allocated 300 million NTD (approximately 10 million USD) towards the subsidy program to support 38 demonstration projects. Three cases were selected amongst these projects and discussed in this article. The first project illustrated a 5kW fuel cell system providing stable backup power for telecom base station. The second project, demoed at Taipei International Flora Exposition, adopted a 30kW fuel cell stationary system to promote the green energy concept. The last case exhibited a Hydrogen Scenery House. This unique building integrated several renewable energies as well as a fuel cell system to provide auxiliary power for the building.The case studies' achievements are then analyzed, and the recommendation for future development is proposed.
