>> A Fuel Cell is one of the solving to reduce greenhouse gases. Despite the high efficiency and environmental friendly of Household Fuel Cell System it has hardly obtained popularity mainly due to its high prices. In order to encourage use of the system prices and operational expenses need to become economical. In this study, optimization through simulation was conducted to find out the optimal operational condition. As a result of simulation the system is operated with DSS operation from 5 O'clock until 19 O'clock for 13 hours at the constant output of 0.4kW to maximize reduction of energy rate. Furthermore, instead of the domestic system with the rated output of 1kW, rated output of the system should be reduced to 0.4 0.6kW which can promote installation of household Fuel Cell System.
