[bldg-sim] new IEA Annex on modelling fuel cell cogeneration systems

[Beausoleil-Morrison, Ian]

(Apologies for cross posting)

I am hoping to form a new Annex of the International Energy Agency's Energy
Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems programme (IEA-ECBCS).  This
Annex would focus on developing and validating models for simulating
residential fuel cell cogeneration systems.  The tentative list of tasks is
as follows:

1) Model development (SOFC, PEM, thermal cooling, hot and cold storage, fuel
processors, power conditioning systems, etc).
2) Characterization of electrical usage patterns.
3) Implementation of models into existing whole-building simulation
programs.
4) Validation of component models and their incorporation into
whole-building simulation programs.

The preliminary proposal for this Annex has been approved by IEA-ECBCS and a
number of member countries have expressed an interest in participating.  The
next step will be a workshop of potential Annex participants.  This workshop
will refine the scope of work, identify the roles of participating
countries, and produce a final project proposal.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you are interested in
participating in the workshop and/or the eventual IEA Annex work.  The
enclosed file provides some background and the workshop details.
