Development of molten carbonate fuel cell power plant. Quarterly technical progress report, August 1, 1981-October 31, 1981
Work proceeded this quarter mainly under three program tasks. Under Task 1.0, cost estimates for the four candidate power plant systems were finalized. Pacific Gas and Electric proposed a number of system modifications to reduce the size, cost and complexity of the fuel cell system. The modifications are being evaluated and will be factored into the final selection of the reference power plant concept. Under Task 2.0, work continued on cell component (anode, cathode, current collector and electrolyte) development and stack design and analysis. Under Task 3.0, the conceptual design of the one-tenth scale stack test facility was completed and cost estimates for the detailed design and construction were prepared. Details are given. (WHK)
