The CRADA focuses on pressurized testing of Nexceris solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stacks in a hybrid configuration with a recuperated gas turbine with the ultimate goal of demonstrating efficiencies in excess of 70% (LHV NG). NETL’s cyber-physical approach will be used to develop and test control strategies before installing the Nexceris SOFC stacks to maximize the chances of success. A successful test will represent a demonstration of the Nexceris stack to endure pressures associated with hybrid operation and the first public demonstration of automated hybrid SOFC/GT technology.
