Next Generation Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Module Development
- FuelCell Energy, Inc., Danbury, CT (United States)
The overall objective of this project was to develop a transformative Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) building block configuration comprised of multi-stack arrays that can be utilized in large-scale power plants. This transformative design signified the benefits of lower performance degradation coupled with improved reliability, low cost, smaller packaging for easier transport and installation, and improved maintenance and field serviceability characteristics. The project goal was to design and fabricate a scalable hot module for housing an array of SOFC stacks and to demonstrate the characteristics of the module gas distribution, insulation and instrumentation, and DC power take-off. The approach was to validate the design of a stack prototype scalable to megawatt (MW) class systems using FuelCell Energy’s Compact SOFC Architecture (CSA) stacks. The scope of work was intended to design, build, and test a compact and low-cost multi-stack sub-module with flexibility to house CSA stacks and scalable to 350 kW which could ultimately be deployed in construction of MW-class systems.
