scope:

This document covers the requirements for the performance test methods between micro fuel cell power systems and notebook powered systems with unassuming built-in battery powered systems For this purpose, this document covers electrical performance test for the fuel cell/battery hybrid system. This document also covers performance test methods which focus on the power and data interchangeability with the micro fuel cell power system and laptop computer and other characteristics for BOP installed for laptop computer applications with fuel cell/battery hybrid system. For the power and data interchangeability with the micro fuel cell power system and laptop computer, this document applies to both gaseous hydrogen-fuelled fuel cell power, liquid hydrogen-fuelled fuel cell power, direct methanol fuel cell power and battery hybrid power pack systems. The following fuels are considered within the scope of this standard: - gaseous hydrogen, and - methanol. This document does not apply to reformer-equipped fuel cell power systems. Block diagram of micro fuel cell power system is shown in Figure 1. This document covers configuration, the mode of hybridization, operation mode for fuel cell/battery power system
