current or at the rated power.
b) A micro fuel cell power system shall be operated either at the rated current or at the rated
power. If at the rated current, the total fuel consumption, micro fuel cell power system
voltage and duration of power generation shall be measured. If at the rated power, the
total fuel consumption and duration of power generation shall be measured. The total fuel
consumption shall be measured as the weight difference of the fuel before and after the
electrical measurement. The electrical measurements shall be taken with the system
operating continuously in the steady state for a certain period of time specified by the
manufacturer for such measurements. The fuel consumption per unit time and the
electrical energy per unit fuel mass shall be calculated using the measured values by the
following equations:
Fuel consumption rate:
Weight of fuel consumed (g)
Fuel consumption per unit hour (g/h) = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hours of generation (h)
W × h
Generated electrical energy per unit fuel weight (Wh/g) = -------------------------------------------------------
Weight of fuel consumed (g)
Where:
W = A × V (the rated current operation);
A is the rated current;
V is the time average of the measured voltage;
or
W is the rated power (the rated power operation);
h is the hours of generation.
The concentration of fuel shall be recorded in the test report.

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (CEI) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation
composée de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de la CEI). La CEI a
pour objet de favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les
domaines de l'électricité et de l'électronique. A cet effet, la CEI – entre autres activités – publie des Normes
internationales, des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au
public (PAS) et des Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de la CEI"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des
comités d'études, aux travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les
organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec la CEI, participent
également aux travaux. La CEI collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO),
selon des conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
