The test stand is required to have the capability to demand and measure 10kW of net continuous DC power from a PEM fuel cell generator, fuel cell power module or fuel cell system. The equipment is essential component of TARDEC's fuel cell R&D effort that is supporting th e application of fuel cells powered by reformed JP-8 to power auxiliary power units (APU's). The Contractor shall furnish a fuel cell power generation test stand on-site at TARDECs laboratories, commission the test stand, and provide training on its set-up, operation and key safety features. The contractor will commit to return, at some future da te to assist in the set-up, operation and testing of the test stand with a fuel cell power generator.
