Design, fabrication and testing of a solid oxide fuel cell stack for a 25 kW to 200 kW generator. Annual report, April 1987--March 1988

Technical Report · Tue Mar 01 04:00:00 EST 1988

OSTI ID:10179193

The technical effort in the current modification is organized under three technical tasks that have objectives as follows: 1. To define a reference design, subsystem design, and component requirements for a tubular solid oxide fuel cell plant with the greatest potential to be commercialized, 2. To develop and verify cell performance, which satisfies the component requirements, and 3. To develop and verify stack performance, which satisfies the component requirements. In addition, post-test analyses of the 5 kW generator have continued during this reporting period. A total of 360 cells were operated in the two tests of the 5 kW generator. These, along with components of the module, provide operating results from a wide range of in-module conditions.
