DEVELOPMENT OF SOFC MODULE

摘要

Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (EPDC) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) have been developing tubular type Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) under a joint R & D project. We developed a 10kW module in 1995. The 10kW module wasrnoperated for 5,000 hours continuously at EPDC Wakamatsu Power Station. We obtained the module efficiency 34% (HHV as H_2) and the deterioration rate of 2% per 1,000 hours in this field test.rnIn 1996, pressurized 1kW module has been tested at MHI Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works. We are now planning the development of pressurized 10kW module.
