Modern microgrids have evolved from disconnected, isolated components into sophisticated interconnected networks supporting reliability, resiliency and energy independence goals. Fuel cells provide a quiet, clean, reliable energy solution to support and exceed the goals of a modern microgrid. We will discuss three real world case studies of how a fuel cell based microgrid offers resiliency, operational savings and sustainability. These examples are based in three distinctly different market areas: education (University of Bridgeport), municipal/utility (Town of Woodbridge, CT) and industrial (Pfizer).
