Cel The high temperature fuel cell technologies have potential for high electrical efficiency, 45-60%, and total efficiency up to 95%. SOFC has the added benefit of offering commercial applications from 1 kW residential to several MW stationary units with high fuel flexibility. Whilst much effort is devoted to cell and stack issues, less attention has been paid to the components and sub-systems required for an operational system. Components and sub-systems such as fuel processing, heat and thermal management, humidification, fluid supply and management and power electronics are as crucial to the successful commercialisation of fuel cell systems as the cell and stack. This project is focused on the development of fuel and water management for SOFC systems. The fuel management, and especially recirculation, is a key question in achieving high electric efficiency and rejecting external water supply. The recirculation increases the fuel utilization rate and can provide the water needed in the reforming of fuels. However, with current SOFC systems the anode circulation has been problematic from controllability and reliability points of view, and hence there is a need to develop the overall solution of the anode subsystem. This project will evaluate different process approaches for fuel and water management, e.g. blower-based approach, ejector-based approach, and water circulation by condensing from the anode off-gas/exhaust gas and evaporating back to the fuel loop. The aspects taken into account in the conceptual analysis are effects on electric efficiency and process simplicity implying easiness of controllability, and requirements on diagnostics accuracy to provide insights into failure mode prevention. In the detailed evaluation, the suitable approaches are analysed more thoroughly in terms of component availability and reliability, achievable diagnostics accuracy, controllability, effects on reformer, mechanical integration feasibility to whole system, cost effects etc. Dziedzina nauki engineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringnatural resources managementwater managementengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsfuel cells Program(-y) FP7-JTI - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Joint Technology Initiatives Temat(-y) SP1-JTI-FCH-3.2 - Component and system improvement for stationary applications Zaproszenie do składania wniosków FCH-JU-2008-1 Zobacz inne projekty w ramach tego zaproszenia System finansowania JTI-CP-FCH - Joint Technology Initiatives - Collaborative Project (FCH) Koordynator TEKNOLOGIAN TUTKIMUSKESKUS VTT Wkład UE € 270 411,40 Adres TEKNIIKANTIE 4 A 02044 VTT ESPOO Finlandia Zobacz na mapie Rodzaj działalności Research Organisations Kontakt administracyjny Jari Kiviaho (Dr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych Uczestnicy (5) Sortuj alfabetycznie Sortuj według wkładu UE Rozwiń wszystko Zwiń wszystko SOLYDERA SA Szwajcaria Wkład UE € 293 025,00 Adres AVENUE DES SPORTS 26 1400 Yverdon-les-Bains Zobacz na mapie Region Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera Région lémanique Vaud Rodzaj działalności Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Kontakt administracyjny Olivier Bucheli (Mr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych EBZ Entwicklungs- und Vertriebsgesellschaft Brennstoffzelle mbH Niemcy Wkład UE € 356 520,50 Adres Marschnerstraße 26 01307 Dresden Zobacz na mapie Rodzaj działalności Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Kontakt administracyjny Eva Spickenheuer (Ms.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych WARTSILA FINLAND OY Finlandia Wkład UE € 465 046,10 Adres TEOLLISUUSKATU 1 65170 Vaasa Zobacz na mapie Region Manner-Suomi Länsi-Suomi Pohjanmaa Rodzaj działalności Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Kontakt administracyjny Kim Eklund (Mr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych HEXIS AG Szwajcaria Wkład UE € 335 847,50 Adres ZUM PARK 5 8404 WINTERTHUR Zobacz na mapie Rodzaj działalności Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Kontakt administracyjny Martin Liechti (Mr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych FORSCHUNGSZENTRUM JULICH GMBH Niemcy Wkład UE € 233 824,50 Adres WILHELM JOHNEN STRASSE 52428 Julich Zobacz na mapie Region Nordrhein-Westfalen Köln Düren Rodzaj działalności Research Organisations Kontakt administracyjny Anne Bosch (Ms.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych
