The Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) Clean Energy Research, Development and<br />

Demonstration (RD&D) Program explores everything from wind energy to fuel cells to<br />

electric vehicles, and uses in-house expertise to conduct projects, as well as<br />

continuously review and analyze project results. The RD&D Program also provides<br />

information and education, encouraging the Long Island community to team up with<br />

LIPA on Clean Energy RD&D projects. Projects include:<br />

Contact:<br />

• The Long Island <strong>Fuel</strong> Cell Farm R&D project at the West Babylon substation,<br />

which has been the focal point of LIPA’s fuel cell program. In 2001, 75 Plug<br />

Power fuel cells were connected to the grid, producing enough energy to<br />

power about 100 average-sized homes. This project was the first grid<br />

connection of fuel cells of this size in the world.<br />

• Remote site fuel cell installations, for which LIPA recruited government and<br />

commercial-industrial customers to demonstrate CHP 5-kW fuel cell systems.<br />

Demonstration sites include Babylon Town Hall, Hofstra University, East<br />

Hampton Town Hall, McDonalds, Farmingdale University, Nassau Community<br />

College, Southampton College and the Wantagh Animal Shelter.<br />

• Three hydrogen-powered uninterruptible power supply (UPS) fuel cell units,<br />

installed at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point for a one-year<br />

demonstration.<br />
