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 />
