It finally is beginning to feel like Spring! If you are in Vancouver at t=
he end of the month for Hydrogen & Fuel Cells 2007, be sure to clap extra l=
oud after my presentation (5/2 at 11:40 am).

TRANSPORTATION APPLICATIONS

Voller Fuel Cell APU Installed on Sailboat.
Voller Energy Group PLC has installed their 1kW fuel cell on a Beneteau Oce=
anis Clipper 411 sailing cruiser. The system can operate on Calor Gas, liq=
uefied petroleum gas (LPG) or propane that is already on board for cooking.=
The fuel cell fits comfortably in an aft locker, normally used for a conve=
ntional generator and works by automatically monitoring battery voltage; wh=
en the battery voltage falls, it automatically switches itself on and recha=
rges the batteries. Once the batteries are fully charged the fuel cell swit=
ches itself off to conserve fuel. Voller's generator also provides hot wat=
er as well as heating to the cabin.

CCEF Selects Seven Fuel Cell Projects Under Project 100.
Seven of the 11 renewable energy projects screened and selected by the Conn=
ecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF) to forward to the state's two electric dis=
tribution companies under Round 2 of Project 100 are fuel cell ones. These=
electric distribution companies will review CCEF's recommendations and per=
form additional analyses leading to their selection of projects to receive =
long-term power purchase agreements. This was the second round of projects=
selected through Project 100, an innovative program created by the Connect=
icut General Assembly to develop not less than 100 megawatts (MW) of renewa=
ble energy generation for the benefit of all Connecticut consumers.=20=20=

Acumentrics Completes Phase I of DOE SECA Agreement.
Acumentrics Corporation has completed Phase I of its U.S. Department of Ene=
rgy (DOE) Solid-State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA) cooperative agreeme=
nt, running its unit for over 2400 hours. Peak power reached over 6.2 kilo=
watts, 20% above the 5 kW design capacity of the unit. Efficiency reached 3=
6%, availability clocked 97%, and the degradation rate was zero. In additi=
on, the capital cost was below the $800/kW target for SECA Phase I. Tests a=
nd results were audited by DOE and independent auditors.=20
