US Consensus Codes & Standards: Power Plants

Documents Scope
Fuel Cell Power Systems (ANSI/CSA America FC1-2004) This standard applies to stationary fuel cell power systems that are packaged, self-contained or factory matched packages of integrated systems, which through electrochemical reactions and other processes, generate alternating-current or direct-current electricity.
Gas and Vapor Detectors and Sensors (UL 2075) This standard covers requirements for toxic and combustible gas and vapor detectors and sensors intended to be portable or employed in indoor or outdoor locations in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. A gas detector and/or sensor and/or vapor detector, as covered by these requirements, consists of an assembly of electrical components coupled with a sensing means inside a chamber, or by separate components to detect toxic and/or combustible gases or vapors.
Inverters, Converters and Controllers for Use in Independent Power Systems (UL 1741) This standard covers requirements for  inverters, converters, charge controllers, and interconnection system equipment (ISE) intended for use in stand-alone (not grid-connected) or utility-interactive (grid-connected) power systems. Utility-interactive inverters, converters, and ISE are intended to be operated in parallel with an electric power system (EPS) to supply power to common loads.
Interfacing - Electrical  
National Electric Code – Fuel Cell Systems (NFPA 70 Article 692) This Code covers the installation of electrical conductors, equipment, and raceways; signaling and communications conductors, equipment, and raceways; and optical fiber cables and raceways for  public and private premises, including buildings, structures, mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and floating buildings, etc. Article 692  covers electrical safety requirements for fuel cells.
Interconnecting Distributed resources with Electric Power Systems (IEEE 1547) This standard establishes criteria and requirements for interconnection of distributed resources (DR) with electric power systems (EPS).   This document provides a uniform standard for interconnection of distributed resources with electric power systems.
