| Objectives | To develop active cell tubes, tube bundles and a strip of tube bundles on a common manifold that will achieve a target performance for a sustained duration when tested under pressurised conditions.To develop reforming modules and bundles capable of being integrated with active cell bundles and strips.To design a multi-kW fuel cell configuration to support the optimisation of performance, size, weight and cost parameters for integration into 1MW hybrid fuel cell system. Total project value =7082000, DTI grant = 2898491 | |
| Abstract | Rolls-Royce plc has developed a unique, cost competitive, clean, highly efficient form of a natural gas fuelled hybrid Solid Oxide Fuel Cell technology, that is ideally suited to segments of the distributed power generation market.Sufficient confidence exists in a proprietary SIFC technology called the Integrated Planar (IP) SOFC concept that a technology verification programme has been launched.The broad aim of this project was to verify the technical viability of the IP-SOFC technology and some of the associated hybrid system component technologies under pressurised conditions and to investigate the validity of predicted pressurisation phenomena. | |
