HIGH EFFICIENCY LOW TEMPERATURE SOFC STACK (HELTSTACK)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

"The main development challenges related to the commercialisation of SOFC technology and SOFC systems lie in reduction of its cost, increasing lifetime and efficiency. SOFC stacks are the key components of SOFC systems, form approximately one third of the total system cost. Stacks with high performance and efficiency are required for high system efficiency. HELTSTACK combines the top European know ...

Steel Coatings For Reducing Degradation in SOFC (SCORED 2:0)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

The economic viability and market place entry of SOFC power systems is directly dependent on their longevity and production costs. Adequate operational life spans can only be achieved, if the performance degradation of the SOFC stacks and Balance of Plant components over time can be considerably reduced. At the same time, manufacturing costs have to be lowered dramatically for the specifically nec ...

Integrating European Infrastructure to support science and development of Hydrogen- and Fuel Cell Technologies towards European Strategy for Sustainable, Competitive and Secure Energy (H2FC)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

"The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) recognizes in its roadmap for Research Infrastructures that ""in the near future, hydrogen, as an energy carrier derived from a number of other fuels, and fuel cells, as energy transformers, are expected to play a major role, for mobile and stationary applications"". With the current fragmentation of the European R&D infrastructures ...

SOFC CCHP WITH POLY-FUEL: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE (SOFCOM)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

"If we consider a new energy framework, based on the concepts of sustainability, energy security using local resources, maximization of the exergy efficiency of the whole system, a possible solution could be based on the following criteria:• Combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP) plants;• Small-medium size plants locally distributed;• Plants with maximization of the energy recovery from the prima ...

Cathode Subsystem Development and Optimisation (CATION)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

The main objectives of this proposal is to evaluate different process alternatives and find optimal process and mechanical solutions for the cathode and stack subsystems with the aim of having commercially feasible and technologically optimised subsystem solutions ready for future ~ 250 kWe atmospheric SOFC systems. The aspects taken into account in the development are mainly electrical efficiency ...

Anode Sub-System Development & Optimisation for SOFC systems (ASSENT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"The high temperature fuel cell technologies have potential for high electrical efficiency, 45-60%, and total efficiency up to 95%. SOFC has the added benefit of offering commercial applications from 1 kW residential to several MW stationary units with high fuel flexibility. Whilst much effort is devoted to cell and stack issues, less attention has been paid to the components and sub-systems requi ...
