Fideris Inc. and HTceramix SA Demonstrate Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Development Platform

19-Apr-2005

Fideris Inc. and HTceramix SA (HTc) demonstrated an SOFC research and development platform at the Hannover Fair in Hannover, Germany. Solid oxide fuel cell systems are a promising technology for solving critical energy and environmental problems. The platform will be marketed to SOFC researchers and industrial labs preparing to enter the SOFC market.

Solid oxide fuel systems can be used in high power applications including industrial and large-scale central electricity generating stations and as auxiliary power units for vehicles. SOFC systems are highly efficient and have significant promise in highly profitable markets; however, the high temperatures needed to run the systems have made testing and validation difficult.

The turnkey system demonstrated by Fideris and HTceramix will allow researchers to install an SOFC system in approximately four hours. The unit demonstrated here includes an HTc 5-cell SOFC fuel cell stack and a Fideris test system.

The integrated turnkey system includes Fideris FCPowerTM software, an advanced software package that allows plug and play simplicity with a user-friendly graphical interface. A plug and play system allows the later addition of new components. Customers can augment their system with Fideris equipment or equipment manufactured by other suppliers. Customers can add analytical instruments, water chillers, dewpoint measurement devices and other components to an existing Fideris test system without software modifications. In addition, the software provides continuous data logging into a single data file, significantly aiding data analysis.

Fideris and HTc will jointly market this platform to universities, research labs, technical schools and potential end users for SOFC. Fideris and HTc expect to continue their collaboration by developing advanced measurement solutions such as impedance spectroscopy for cell and stack quality assurance.
