New York State College to Host Plug Power Residential Fuel Cell Field Trial

Plug Power and National Grid, a natural gas and electric utility, today announced Union College, in New York State, as the site host for the trial of Plug Power's 5 kW residential fuel cell, GenSys.

As part of the educational outreach program included in this project, participants will also include Ballston Spa High School and Schenectady Museum. Both groups will engage students of all ages in fuel cell education and field trial data analysis.

This project is a result of a partnership with the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced in November of 2008. Plug Power and National Grid will test the system in the real-life operating conditions at Union College. Collaboratively, the companies will use the critical data collected to determine system refinements for incorporation into the next-generation system design.

Educational outreach programs will begin immediately. On July 9, 2009, sixth and seventh grade students participating in Ballston Spa's Gateway Academy will spend an entire day learning about fuel cells. The program will include a tour of Plug Power to experience the engineering, testing, development and manufacturing process of a fuel cell. Students will also visit the Union College campus to see the installation of the GenSys unit in progress.

For the duration of the project, students will receive live data directly from the fuel cell site for analysis.
