Regional Resource Center - Economic/Cost Model
The economic/cost model assesses potential yearly heating and electricity cost savings when using a fuel cell for baseload power. The model is based upon commercial available baseload fuel cell technologies. Fuel cells used for baseload power should typically not exceed 85% of a facilities load in order to utilize 100% of the fuel cell's heat and energy, making a fuel cell an economically viable option with the potential to realize significant energy and cost savings. The model is not intended to be a substitute for a comprehensive life-cycle analysis of the costs of conventional energy sources or fuel cells. A more detailed economic analysis may be obtained through the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology, Inc. (CCAT).
