Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Analysis: Lessons Learned from Stationary Power Generation: A link to the full Funding Opportunity Announcement is found by scrolling to the bottom of this page. In the future, hydrogen-based stationary systems can help supply some of the stationary power demand with the additional advantages of higher reliability, lower emissions, independence from the general grid and cogeneration capability. In order to understand how to prepare the future for this technology, DOE is seeking to learn from the challenges of previous stationary power programs and use the lessons learned to develop a strategy that systematically incorporates both the stationary and the transportation sectors and defines the various trade-offs, synergies and opportunities. The objective of this project is to identify the lessons learned from prior stationary power programs, including the most significant obstacles, how these obstacles have been approached, outcomes of the programs, and how this information can be used in the DOE's Hydrogen Program. The study will take into consideration relevant alternative stationary power efforts within and outside of the United States. Opportunities for hydrogen in stationary applications will be analyzed and recommendations related to research, development and demonstration (RD D) strategies that incorporate considerations of both transportation and stationary sectors will be developed. This study should include technology analyses of distributed (up to 500 kg/day), medium (up to 30,000 kg/day) and large scale (central stations up to 1,200,000 kg/day) stationary hydrogen technologies and their associated delivery costs. The study should analyze the different strategies utilized in power generation systems and should identify the different challenges and opportunities for producing and using hydrogen as an energy carrier. Based on the results of the analysis, the study should propose an RD D strategy for the development of a hydrogen infrastructure. To avoid duplication and to narrow the focus toward the likely stationary power technologies that will be used in a hydrogen infrastructure, attention should be paid to previous and on-going efforts involving power parks and energy stations (see http://www.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/tech_validation/ for information on some of these efforts).
