Cost-effective and flexible 3D printed SOFC stacks for commercial applications (Cell3Ditor)

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

A Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is a ceramic-based multilayer device that involves expensive and time-consuming multi-step manufacturing processes including tape casting, screen printing, firing, shaping and several high-temperature thermal treatments. In addition, these cells are manually assembled into stacks resulting in extra steps for joining and sealing that difficult the standardization and ...

Joint Operation for Ultra Low Emission Shipping (JOULES)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2017,

Reducing emissions from shipping has increasingly become a challenge over the last years, both as a counter measure against global climate change and to protect local environments and population from waste, gas emissions and noise.This challenge has been documented both in policy papers, like the Europe 2020 initiative or the Transport White Paper, and in rules and regulations issued by IMO as wel ...

Development of Auxiliary Power Unit for Recreational yachts (PURE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

IIn Europe there is a very narrow technology base in portable fuel cell systems which can be applicable for various areas like emergency and remote power, recreational applications, personal portable power and educational devices. The PURE project targets these markets with the primary focus on maritime applications with a device, which will be portable, low weight and volume, based on improved HT ...

Microtubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Power System developement and integration into a Mini-UAV (SUAV)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

"SUAV aims to design, optimise and build a 100-200W mSOFC stack, and to integrate it into a hybrid power system comprising the mSOFC stack and a battery. Additional components of the system are a fuel processor to generate reformate gas from propane and other electrical, mechanical and control balance of plant (BoP).All these components will be constituents of an entire fuel cell power generator w ...

Pre-normative research on safe indoor use of fuel cells and hydrogen systems (HyIndoor)

Start date: Jan 2, 2012, End date: Jan 1, 2015,

This project addresses the issue of safe indoor use of hydrogen and fuel cells systems (priority 4.6 of the call FCH-JU-2010-1) for early markets (forklift refuelling and operation, back-up power supply, portable power generation, etc.): It aims to provide scientific and engineering knowledge for the specification of cost-effective means to control hazards specific to the use of hydrogen indoors o ...

DEGRADATION SIGNATURES IDENTIFICATION FOR STACK OPERATION DIAGNOSTICS (DESIGN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

Today, main expectation for SOFC stationary systems competitiveness is to exceed a durability of 40 000 h, an objective which is not today reached except for very specific designs. A better understanding and detection of the failure mechanisms and the internal condition of stacks is of major importance for the introduction of the SOFC technology. If, massive SOFC stack or auxiliary failure can be ...

Low Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells for micro-CHP applications (LOTUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

Since the requirements of micro-CHP systems in the European Union are becoming clearer, the technologies to reach these goals are emerging steadily. The high intrinsic electrical efficiency and the capability to be directly connected to existing heating circuits, make solid oxide fuel cells a preferred choice for this application. This proposal describes the project to build a prototype of a new g ...

Generation of Hydrogen by Kerosene Reforming via efficient and low emission new Alternative, innovative, refined technologies for aircraft application (GreenAir)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"Fuel cells for power generation and additional purposes aboard aircraft have a promising potential to contribute to making aircraft “greener” and thus to ""greening of air transport” which is a superior goal of European policy of climate change.GreenAir is addressing one of the key problems for fuel cell application aboard an aircraft - the generation of Hydrogen from Jet fuel (Kerosene) which wi ...
