Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The community system includes a hydrogen source, a hydrogen storage, an FC power generating facility, a hydrogen filler, a house group that uses electric power supplied from the FC power generating facility and hydrogen supplied from at least one of the hydrogen source and the hydrogen storage, and a management system that manages hydrogen in the community system. The hydrogen source is a hydrogen producing device that produces hydrogen using waste heat generated in a commercial and industrial installation or produces hydrogen from by-product gas produced in the commercial and industrial installation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A community system that uses hydrogen, comprising: a hydrogen source; a hydrogen storage storing hydrogen supplied from the hydrogen source; an FC power generating facility with a fuel cell that generates electric power using hydrogen supplied from at least one of the hydrogen source and the hydrogen storage; a hydrogen filler that fills a fuel cell vehicle with hydrogen supplied from at least one of the hydrogen source and the hydrogen storage; a house group with multiple houses that use electric power supplied from the FC power generating facility and hydrogen supplied from at least one of the hydrogen source and the hydrogen storage; and a management system that manages hydrogen in the community system, wherein the hydrogen source is a hydrogen producing device that produces hydrogen using waste heat generated in a commercial and industrial installation or produces hydrogen from by-product gas produced in the commercial and industrial installation. 2. The community system according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrogen source produces hydrogen in a shutdown period of the commercial and industrial installation.
