Atrex Energy Inc. will develop, build, and test a low degradation, high efficiency stack with a novel capability for energy storage. This project seeks to identify how a low cost, reliable, tubular SOFC stack can be developed by implementing state-of-the-art cell materials, integral technologies, and automated manufacturing techniques. The effort will culminate in the build of a 5 kW stack test article compatible with steam reforming, auto-thermal or partial oxidation, and resistant to damage from overloading. This stack will likely be employed in niche commercial markets and will mark a significant waypoint in the creation of modules for megawatt power applications. The tasks in cell and stack technology will be to incorporate an energy storage element, implement catalyst technologies for novel fuel reforming and improved efficiency and electrode engineering to improve performance at intermediate temperature. Manufacturing enhancements will be focused on tube processing and coating, and robotic assembly techniques. This project leverages previous related work under DOE contract AR0000492.
