Fuel cell technologies - Part 3-200: Stationary fuel cell power systems - Performance test methods
IEC 62282-3-200:2025 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, under specified operating and transient conditions.
This document applies to all kinds of stationary fuel cell technologies, such as:
- alkaline fuel cells (AFC);
- phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC);
- polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC);
- molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC);
- solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2015. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- revision of the Introduction, Scope and Clause 3;
- revision of the symbols in Table 1;
- revision of Figure 2 (symbol diagram);
- revision of measurement methods (8.3);
- revision of the efficiency test (10.2);
- revision of the electric power and thermal power response characteristics test (10.3);
- revision of the start-up and shutdown characteristics test (10.4);
- revision of Annex C.

- rendement électrique et rendement de l’énergie thermique récupérée dans des conditions de fonctionnement spécifiées;
- caractéristiques d’environnement, par exemple émissions de gaz d’échappement, bruit, dans des conditions de fonctionnement spécifiées y compris les conditions transitoires.
Le présent document s’applique à toutes sortes de technologies des piles à combustible stationnaires, telles que:
- piles à combustible alcalines (AFC);
- piles à combustible à acide phosphorique (PAFC);
- piles à combustible à électrolyte polymère (PEFC);
- piles à combustible à carbonates fondus (MCFC);
- piles à combustible à oxyde solide (SOFC).
Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2015. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente:
- révision de l’Introduction, du Domaine d’application et de l’Article 3;
- révision des symboles énumérés dans le Tableau 1;
- révision de la Figure 2 (schéma des symboles);
- révision des méthodes de mesure (8.3);
- révision de l’essai de rendement (10.2);
