Fuel Cells
• Up to ~65% efficiencies
• No combustion products (SOX,CO) although there may
be NOX at high temperatures
• Vibration free, almost silent – can be located close to the
load
• Waste heat can be used for cogeneration
• Byproduct is water
• Modular in nature

• Now, we evaluate
P a − P b = 88, 489 − 87, 354 = $ 1,135
• Therefore, the purchase of motor b results in the
savings of $ 1,135 due to the use of the smaller load
motor under the specified 10% discount rate

d
has the (non-obvious) solution of d equal to about 12%.
• The interpretation is that under a 12% discount rate, the present
value of the cash flow set is 0 and so 12% is the IRR for the given
cash- flow set
– The investment makes sense as long as other investments yield less than
12%.
