About the Program
This ASERTTI program is managed by Mark Hanson of Hoffman, LLC and Joe Kramer and Sherry Benzmiller of the Energy Center of Wisconsin. The program managers are guided by the Steering Committee consisting of entities supporting the protocols program, and Stakeholder Advisory Group which includes manufacturers, researchers, consultants and other public and private sector groups.
The following organizations have contributed substantially to the production of the individual protocols:
- The Gas Technology Institute authored the original laboratory testing protocol. Current Technologies Corporation drafted a fuel cell laboratory testing protocol that was used in developing the Version 1.0 laboratory testing protocol.
- The Southern Research Institute authored the original field testing protocol.
- Connected Energy Corporation authored the original long trem monitoring protocol.
- University of Illinois - Chicago Energy Resources Center authored the original case study protocol.
These protocols were developed as part of the Collaborative National Program for the Development and Performance Testing of Distributed Power Technologies wih Emphasis on Combined Heat and Power Applications, co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and members of the Association of State Energy Research and Technology Transfer Institutions (ASERTTI). The sponsors who also serve on the Steering Committee are the California Energy Commission, CHP Regional Applications Centers, Concurrent Technologies Corporation, the Energy Center of Wisconsin, Montana State University-Billings, the National Energy Technology Laboratory, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the University of Illinois-Chicago. Other sponsors are the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the U.S. Department of Defense Fuel Cell Test and Evaluation Center, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development.
Additional reports including laboratory and field protocol validation reports are available at the site.
