Special high temperature micro-hotplates were investigated for their potential use as a technology platform for miniaturized solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). To evaluate the compatibility of these hotplates with typical SOFC materials and processing techniq ...
Results concerning the coupling of the steam reforming and total oxidn. of methanol in a two-passage reactor are presented. A com. available copper-based catalyst is used for the steam reforming. For the total oxidn., a highly active cobalt oxide catalyst ...
If fuel cell technology – with its inherent benefits of high efficiency and low emissions – is to be used in decentralised power sources, in mobile or transportation applications, the systems have to be able to adapt to fast load changes and varying operat ...
Maintaining a fuel cell system in correct operating conditions when subjected to fast load changes requires good system control. Best results are typically achieved using model based control strategies. This paper elaborates a control oriented PEM fuel cel ...
The common technology for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) is based on a cermet anode of nickel with yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ), often used as the supporting structure. One of the main limitations of this anode technology is the redox tolerance. In thi ...
We present a SOFC stack technology based on the unique SOFConnex™ concept. It uses flexible gas distribution layers between metal sheet interconnects and thin ASE cells (Ni-YSZ anode supported, thin electrolyte). Flexibility is given both in material and d ...
This paper presents a methodology for the optimal design and operation of man-portable power generation devices based on fuel cells. To illustrate the methodology, we focus on a simple process that consists of a fuel processing reactor, a solid-oxide fuel ...
Polymer electrolyte and solid oxide are the two fuel cell types (PEFC, SOFC) under development in Switzerland. The very distinct operating temperatures of 80 °C (PEFC) and 800–950 °C (SOFC) impose fundamentally different requirements upon the nature of the ...
A small cogeneration system based on a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) fed on the renewable energy source biogas is presented. An existing farm biogas production site (35 m3 per day), currently equipped with a SOFC demonstration stack, is taken for reference. ...
The aim of this work was to operate the steam reforming of methanol and the total oxidation of methanol in a microstructured two-passage reactor. The steam reforming enables the production of hydrogen at relatively low temperatures (250 °C) with only a sma ...
