Tóm tắt

 The overarching goal of this project is to advance the reliability, robustness and endurance of low-cost SOFC technology that will ultimately be deployed in coal power systems with greater than 60% percent efficiency based on Higher Heating Value (HHV) of fuel and capability for ?97% CO<

  capture at a cost-of-electricity that is approximately 40 percent below presently available Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) systems. The main objective of the research and development is to reduce the SOFC stack cost to the extent which undercuts DOE?s cost targets by 50%. The pathways in reaching the project?s objective consist of novel materials development, transformational manufacturing processes, high performance cell components, and innovative robust and reliable stack designs leveraging advancements that have occurred in the DOE SOFC Program. To verify the advances in developing the proposed innovations, the project will culminate in a 5 kW-scale stack test for at least 1000 hours using full-size cells, operating on natural gas at self-sustained Normal Operating Conditions (NOC) that would be envisioned in a commercial system.
