Kaufman, A; Johnson, G K

Test results are given for a 5kW stack and initial results for an integrated, grid-connected system operating from methanol fuel. Site selection criteria are presented from Arthur D. Little Co. for future demonstration of a 50 or 100kW OS/IES. Preliminary results are also given from the ADL economic study of this system, with approximate internal rates of return to the building owner. Progress in development and construction of a 50kW modular methanol/steam reformer is reported.
