IEC 62282-3-200:2025 covers operational and environmental aspects of the stationary fuel cell power systems performance. The test methods apply as follows:
- power output under specified operating and transient conditions;
- electrical and heat recovery efficiency under specified operating conditions;
- environmental characteristics, for example, exhaust gas emissions, noise, under specified operating and transient conditions.
This document applies to all kinds of stationary fuel cell technologies, such as:
- alkaline fuel cells (AFC);
- phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC);
- polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC);
- molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC);
- solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2015. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- revision of the Introduction, Scope and Clause 3;
- revision of the symbols in Table 1;
- revision of Figure 2 (symbol diagram);
- revision of measurement methods (8.3);
- revision of the efficiency test (10.2);
- revision of the electric power and thermal power response characteristics test (10.3);
- revision of the start-up and shutdown characteristics test (10.4);
- revision of Annex C.
