| Summary |
In 2005, the cost of an 80 kW direct hydrogen fuel cell system was assessed relative to the DOE 2005 target of $1 25/kW. This system includes the fuel cell stack and balance-of-plant (BOP) components for water, thermal, and fuel management. Hydrogen storage is not included in this target. In this report, we provide a comprehensive description of the assumptions, approach, and final results of the 2005 PEMFC costing effort. The results of sensitivity and Monte Carlo analyses on components and the overall system are presented including the most important cost factors and the uncertainty in the fuel cell system cost projection given the model assumptions. The effects of selected scenarios on the fuel cell system cost ( $? kW) were assessed, including the effect of platinum price and the effect of individual component markups on overall system cost. The results of these analyses are presented and their implications discussed. |
