摘要
Construction of the 1-MW fuel cell plant has been one facet of the Japanese Moonlight project. Process and control (PAC) tests of the total system using dummy stacks were finished in September 1987. Most of the operation modes, such as start up, load following, shut down, and movement to standby have been examined, and tests on the operation characteristics using the fuel cell were finished in the autumn of 1988. A fuel cell plant consists of many subsystems, and each subsystem interacts with all the others. To estimate the operation characteristics of fuel cell plants, we developed a dynamic simulator and analyzed the operating characteristics. In the simulations, we paid attention to the pressure difference between the cathode and anode of the fuel cell and the system base pressure. The former is important for safe operation of the fuel cell, and the latter is important for safe operation of the reformer. For load following and shut-down modes of the 1-MW plant, calculation results were compared with actual test results and seem to agree fairly well with each other. © 1990 IEEE
