Rapid Startup SOFC Modules
چکیده انگلیسی

The compact 200 W SOFC module is characterised by its rapid startup capability. The module can be run on hydrogen, as well as on reformate from hydrocarbon fuels or alcohols. The stack temperature can be raised to 700 °C in less than 5 min by electric heaters placed in all bipolar plates. The heating power may be drawn from a battery which can be later recharged at times of low power demand. Only about 4 Wh of electrical energy are needed to heat one installed cell. As the nominal output is 10 W per cell, the startup energy is recovered in about 24 min of operation. The complete and functional modules are packaged in sealed metal containers. The current 200 W demonstration module has a diameter of 100 mm (4 inches) and is 100 mm tall. The suspended stack of 16 planar cells of 60 mm × 60 mm size can deliver up to 200 W of DC power when operated at around 850 °C. However, the design of the module can be expanded to power levels of 1 kW or more by increasing the number of cells per stack or by enlarging the active area.
