Value and manufacturing costs of planar solid oxide fuel cell stacks. Topical report, January 1994-July 1996
In the first part of this report, the authors analyze the economics of three different fuel cell applications, 200 kW cogeneration, 50 MW stand alone power generation, and a central power plant application of a fuel cell integrated into a 225 MW gas turbine/combined cycle power plant. In the second part of this report, the authors estimated the cost of fabricating a planar SOFC stack using a variety of manufacturing techniques. For a facility producing 200 MW/year of fuel cell systems, the authors obtained vendor equipment quotations, material cost estimates, utility requirements, and projected labor and overhead costs. The authors used a minimum after tax rate of return requirement of 20% to estimate SOFC stack costs.
