Experimental Investigation of Residential Cogeneration Devices and Calibration of Annex 42 Models: A Report of Subtask B of FC+COGEN-SIM The Simulation of Building-Integrated Fuel Cell and Other Cogeneration Systems

This report documents the experimental investigations of residential cogeneration systems conducted within Annex 42 and the subsequent calibration of the Annex 42 models using these data. Section II of the report documents the experimental protocol discussed above. Section III then describes the laboratory and field test facilities used to conduct the experimental investigations. A separate subsection is provided for each facility. Following this, Section IV describes the 13 experimental investigations of SOFC, PEMFC, SE, and ICE cogeneration devices, each in a separate subsection. The calibration of the Annex 42 models using some of these data are then detailed in Sections V through VII. Examples are provided for SE, ICE, and SOFC cogeneration devices.
