articles and profiles that focus on Fuel Cells, along with the latest
updates on new and revised standards. Article summaries with links to
the complete newsletter are given below. Fuel Cell Technology: Opportunities and Challenges The need for an environmentally clean, quiet and highly fuel-efficient power sources is driving the development of Fuel Cell Technology. Fuel Cells are one of the most promising technologies for meeting future global power requirements. Unlike power plants that use conventional technologies, Fuel Cell plants that generate electricity and usable heat can be built in a wide range of sizes. Fuel cell power sources produce electricity, heat and water electrochemically, with no moving parts, noise, or pollutant emissions. More... U.S. Fuel Cell Council Urges Acceleration of Codes and Standards To avoid becoming a barrier to commercialization, the U.S. Fuel Cell Council (USFCC) has urged public and private code and Standard Developing Organizations (SDOs) to accelerate their review of Fuel Cell technology. The U.S. Fuel Cell Council is one of the strongest forces in the acceleration of Fuel Cell deployment and is dedicated to fostering the commercialization of Fuel Cells in the United States. Their membership includes the world's leading Fuel Cell developers, manufacturers, suppliers and customers. More... Powering the Future Fuel Cells may be the power behind a company's dream. It’s an efficient, combustion-less, virtually pollution-free power source. It is being used in urban and in more remote areas running almost silently with few moving parts. This technology is more of a reality than a dream. But before Fuel Cells evolve enough for the internal-combustion engine, it will provide clean electricity to offices and homes. Most impressive of all, over time it very well may be able to do all of this almost as cheaply and more reliable than conventional power plants. More... IEEE Begins Standard on Fuel Cells and Other Distributed Resources Linked to Power Systems The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board has given approval to start work on a new standard, IEEE P1614, "Guide for Monitoring, Information Exchange and Control of Distributed Resources Interconnected with Electric Power Systems." It also has approved work to begin on a revision to a standard regarding automatic line sectionalizers on AC-systems. More... Fuel Cell Codes, Standards and Related Publications Global and IHS together are your single source for individual standards and publications or integrated collections via hardcopy or electronic delivery.
