Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has been developing tubular type Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) since 1984. A 1kW module of SOFC has been continuously operated for 3,000 hours with 2 scheduled thermal cycles at Electric Power Development Co., Inc. (EPDC) Wakamatsu Power Station in 1993. The authors have obtained of 34% module efficiency and deterioration rate of 2% per 1,000 hours in this field test. The next mile-stone of the tubular type SOFC development is an operation of the 10kW module in 1995, under a joint R and D project of EPDC and MHI.
