Technical Report · Fri Sep 01 04:00:00 EDT 1989

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7238637· OSTI ID:7238637

The overall objective of this program is to define a competitive Coal Gasification/Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell power plant and the associated technology development requirements and to develop an improved cell configuration for molten carbonate fuel cans which has improved performance, has reduced cell creep and electrolyte management consistent with 40,000 hour projected life, reduces existing cell cost, and is adaptable to a range of power plant applications.
