Develop and test fuel cell powered on-site integrated total energy systems. Phase 3: full-scale power plant development
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6942639
Progress toward an integrated 5kW power system based upon methanol fuel and a phosphoric acid fuel cell operating at about 473 K is described in detail. Description includes test results of advanced fuel cell catalysts, a semi-automatic acid replenishment system and a completed 5kW methanol/steam reformer. Design features of a 5kW fuel cell stack are included. The results of a preliminary system test on a reformer/stack/inverter combination are reported. An initial design for a 25 kW stack is presented. Experimental plans are outlined for data acquisition necessary for design of a 50 kW methanol/steam reformer. Activities related to complete mathematical modelling of the integrated power system, including wasteheat utilization are described.
