5. FUEL CELL SIZING

Fuel cell power has to be sufficient to meet the maximum instantaneous power required from the demand. Therefore large electric power devices cannot be used at the same time and a demand side management system has to be implemented to reduce the peak load, (peak lopping) as is required of most renewables. With the implementation of good demand side management the maximum power required can be below 2 kW, and below 6 kW if air conditioning is required.
