Scope

GB/T 36544-2018 is the English-translated version of 变电站用质子交换膜燃料电池供电系统.

China's national standard for proton exchange membrane fuel cell power supply systems used in electrical distribution substations. It specifies the terms and definitions, the system composition and the technical requirements, beginning with the conditions of use. A substation needs a backup supply for its own protection, control and communication equipment, and that supply must work precisely when the grid it sits on has failed. The traditional answer is a battery bank, which is reliable and has a limited endurance measured in hours, or a diesel set, which has fuel and starts unreliably after months of standing. A fuel cell fits the gap: it runs as long as hydrogen is supplied, has no combustion and almost no moving parts, starts predictably, and is silent enough for an urban site. The proton exchange membrane type is chosen for backup duty because it operates near ambient temperature and can therefore go from cold to full output in seconds rather than hours.

1 Scope

China's national standard for proton exchange membrane fuel cell power supply systems used in electrical distribution substations. It specifies the terms and definitions, the system composition and the technical requirements, beginning with the conditions of use. A substation needs a backup supply for its own protection, control and communication equipment, and that supply must work precisely when the grid it sits on has failed. The traditional answer is a battery bank, which is reliable and has a limited endurance measured in hours, or a diesel set, which has fuel and starts unreliably after months of standing. A fuel cell fits the gap: it runs as long as hydrogen is supplied, has no combustion and almost no moving parts, starts predictably, and is silent enough for an urban site. The proton exchange membrane type is chosen for backup duty because it operates near ambient temperature and can therefore go from cold to full output in seconds rather than hours.

This Standard specifies the system composition, technical requirements, test methods, marking, packaging, transportation and storage of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell power supply system for power distribution substation. This Standard applies to the proton exchange membrane fuel cell DC backup power supply system for power distribution substation using hydrogen as fuel.
