 Direct FuelCell®
DFC®300MA™
300 kW 480VAC
333 kVA 50 or 60 Hz
The DFC300MA™ is a commercial grade power plant capable of providing high quality base load electric power using natural gas or anaerobic digester gas as a fuel. The powerplant consists of three subsystem sections. The DFC Module includes the assembly of electrochemical cells that produce the DC power. The Electrical Balance of Plant section converts the DC power into high quality AC power. The Mechanical Balance of Plant section contains the process equipment that prepares air, fuel, and water for use in fuel cell stack module. Each DFC300MA™ is covered under FCE’s standard warranty.
Direct FuelCell Advantages
- Sitability
- Ultra Low Emissions
- Low Noise
|
Ultra low emissions of NOX and SOX allow the DFC® products to be placed in areas where emissions restrictions prohibit traditional generation technologies. |
- Applicability
- Low Profile
- Modular Design
|
DFC® products have been designed for installation at a wide variety of sites including industrial, commercial and institutional areas. The modular design allows for multiple units to be combined, providing incremental capacities. |

Note 1: Efficiency at acceptance shall be based on on-board instrumentation. Performance testing with additional high accuracy instrumentation is available for an additional fee. Power output and efficiency are subject to ISO correction according to FCE document #5841. Efficiency value is based upon natural gas fuel meeting FCE's fuel specification. Fuel composition or ambient condition changes after acceptance testing may affect performance as described in the FCE Fuel Specification document #5665.
Note 2: Noise specified is estimated noise level 10’ from plant perimeter in free field. Specific site conditions, such as proximity to other structures or equipment, will impact actual noise level at site.
