Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) Fuel Cell

Tender summary

The Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has previously supported a 120 kW fuel cell capability used for research projects. ESIF is seeking to replace and upgrade this fuel cell capability by purchasing a commercially available fuel cell generator solution. Fuel cell support systems (e.g., cooling system, hydrogen piping, ventilation, etc.) are already installed in the facility and are expected to be modified to support the new fuel cell system as needed. The fuel cell will utilize stored hydrogen produced at ESIF and will supply electrical power to the ESIF Research Electrical Distribution Bus. The fuel cell solution may optionally provide combined heat and power take-off provisions. The fuel cell system will be used in various research projects as an integrated capability. The project objective is to procure a turn-key Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell system that can be installed at ESIF and used to support energy integration research and development. The fuel cell system should preferably include a scalable or modular system to allow easy future expansion/increased power output.
