Units >100 kW
[1] Voluntarily supplied data for units > 100 kW[2] Load fraction is the ratio of electrical output per rated capacity of the fuel cell unit. Efficiency data points for each load fraction are +/- 2% of the target load fraction.[3] Mean efficiencies by unit are calculated as the percentage of electrical power output to higher heating value of fuel input. The natural gas higher heating value used is48.956 MJ/kg and the lower heating value used is 44.294 MJ/kg.
