Reformer Efficiency

HOMER Logo

Type:	Input Variable
Units:	%
Symbol:	ηref

The reformer efficiency is the efficiency with which the reformer converts the fuel to hydrogen. This is equal to the energy content (based on LHV) of the hydrogen out divided by the energy content (based on LHV) of the fuel in. HOMER uses this value to determine how much fuel the reformer uses to produce a certain amount of hydrogen.
