– izhodna moč pod navedenimi obratovalnimi in prehodnimi pogoji;
– učinkovitost ponovnega pridobivanja električne in toplotne energije pod navedenimi obratovalnimi pogoji;
– okoljske značilnosti, na primer emisije izpustov, hrupa, itn. pod navedenimi obratovalnimi in prehodnimi pogoji.
Ta standard ne zajema elektromagnetne združljivosti (EMC).
Ta standard se ne uporablja za majhne nepremične elektroenergetske sisteme z gorivnimi celicami z izhodno močjo električne energije, manjšo od 10 kW, ki so obravnavani v standardu IEC 62282-3-201.
Elektroenergetski sistemi z gorivnimi celicami imajo lahko različne podsisteme, kar je odvisno od tipov gorivnih celic in njihove uporabe, ter različne pretoke materiala in energije v sisteme ter iz njih.
Vendar za vrednotenje elektroenergetskega sistema z gorivnimi celicami sta določena diagram in meja splošnega sistema (glej sliko 1).
Za določanje sistemske meje elektroenergetskega sistema z gorivnimi celicami se upoštevajo naslednji pogoji:
– v sistemsko mejo so vključeni vsi sistemi za energetsko predelavo;
– vse vrste naprav za shranjevanje električne energije so zunaj sistemske meje;
– izračun vrednosti segrevanja vhodnega goriva (kot so zemeljski plin, propan in čisti vodik v plinastem stanju) temelji na pogojih goriva na meji elektroenergetskega sistema z gorivnimi celicami.
General Information

Overview
EN 62282-3-200:2016 (IEC 62282-3-200:2015) is the CLC-adopted European standard for fuel cell technologies focused on stationary fuel cell power systems and their performance test methods. It defines test procedures, measurement methods and calculation principles for assessing electrical and thermal performance, environmental characteristics and dynamic response under specified operating and transient conditions.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and reference conditions: ambient, temperature, pressure and heating-value bases required for repeatable tests.
- Measurement instruments & methods: electrical power, fuel input, recovered heat, exhaust flow, purge gas, water discharge, noise and vibration, total harmonic distortion and ambient conditions.
- Efficiency and energy calculations: procedures to compute electrical efficiency, heat recovery and waste heat rates, with uncertainty analysis and data-acquisition planning.
- Response and dynamic tests: procedures for electric and thermal output response times, including criteria for steady-state and transient operation. Notable update in this edition: a stabilization zone of ±10% for thermal output 100% response time is introduced (replacing the previous 90% thermal response test); the 90% electric output response time remains optional. Calculation of ramp rate in kW/s was removed - only response time (s) calculations remain.
- Start-up / shutdown tests: methods and calculations for time and energy during start-up and shutdown.
- Environmental characteristics: exhaust gas emissions, acoustic noise levels and other environmental metrics under steady and transient conditions.
- Test planning and reporting: maximum permissible variations in steady-state, duration and frequency of readings, and normative references for traceability.
Practical applications and who uses it
- Fuel cell manufacturers - product development, type testing, performance verification and warranty characterization.
- Test laboratories & certification bodies - standardized test protocols for independent verification and compliance.
- System integrators and CHP designers - validating electrical/thermal integration and sizing for combined heat and power applications.
- Regulators & procurement agencies - specifying measurable performance and environmental limits for tenders and approvals.
- Researchers and R&D teams - comparative benchmarking and reproducible experimental methods.
Related standards
- IEC 62282-3-201 (small fuel cell power systems performance tests)
- ISO 14687 (hydrogen fuel product specification)
- ISO 3744 / IEC 61672 (noise and sound level measurement)
- ISO 5167 (flow measurement) and other referenced ISO/IEC standards listed in EN 62282-3-200:2016
This standard is essential for anyone needing consistent, repeatable methods to quantify the performance, dynamics and environmental footprint of stationary fuel cell power systems.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62282-3-200 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 105:
Fuel cell technologies.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 62282-3-200, published in
2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) a stabilization zone of ± 10 % for thermal output of 100 % response time is provided
instead of the tests for thermal output of 90 % response time, while the tests for electric
output of 90 % response time remain as an option;
b) the calculations for the ramp rate in kW/s are deleted and only the calculations for the
response time (s) remain;
– 6 – IEC 62282-3-200:2015 © IEC 2015
c) the procedures, criteria and figures of 9.3, Electric power and thermal power response
characteristics test, are modified to ensure they produce accurate and consistent results;
d) maximum acceptable instantaneous electric power output transient is moved to informative
Annex D.
IEC has published a related but independent standard IEC 62282-3-201 on performance test
methods of small stationary fuel cell power systems which is harmonized with this standard.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
105/547/FDIS 105/555/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all the parts in the IEC 62282 series, published under the general title Fuel cell

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62282 covers operational and environmental aspects of the stationary fuel
cell power systems performance. The test methods apply as follows:
– power output under specified operating and transient conditions;
– electrical and heat recovery efficiency under specified operating conditions;
– environmental characteristics; for example, exhaust gas emissions, noise, etc. under
specified operating and transient conditions.
This standard does not provide coverage for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
This standard does not apply to small stationary fuel cell power systems with electric power
output of less than 10 kW which are dealt with IEC 62282-3-201.
Fuel cell power systems may have different subsystems depending upon types of fuel cell and
applications, and they have different streams of material and energy into and out of them.
However, a common system diagram and boundary has been defined for evaluation of the
fuel cell power system (see Figure 1).
The following conditions are considered in order to determine the system boundary of the fuel
cell power system:
– all energy recovery systems are included within the system boundary;
– all kinds of electric energy storage devices are considered outside the system boundary;
– calculation of the heating value of the input fuel (such as natural gas, propane gas and
pure hydrogen gas, etc.) is based on the conditions of the fuel at the boundary of the fuel
cell power system.

The article explains that the SIST EN 62282-3-200:2016 standard provides test methods for evaluating the performance of stationary fuel cell power systems. The methods cover power output, efficiency, and environmental characteristics under specified operating conditions. However, the standard does not address electromagnetic compatibility. It also does not apply to small stationary fuel cell power systems with electric power output of less than 10 kW, which are covered by a different standard. The article also mentions that fuel cell power systems can have different subsystems and inputs and outputs of material and energy. A system diagram and boundary have been defined for evaluating the performance of the fuel cell power system. The article also mentions the conditions considered for determining the system boundary of the fuel cell power system, including the inclusion of energy recovery systems within the boundary and the exclusion of electric energy storage devices. Additionally, the heating value of the input fuel is calculated based on the conditions at the boundary of the fuel cell power system.
