FuelCell Energy Awarded Project for Ultra High Efficiency Solid Oxide Systems
March 13 2018 - 1:33PM
FuelCell Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:FCEL), a global leader in
delivering clean, innovative and affordable fuel cell solutions for
the supply, recovery and storage of energy, today announced that it
was awarded $3.1 million from the Advanced Research Projects
Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) division of the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) for its project proposal to advance the commercialization of
ultra-high efficiency Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems.
The award is part of ARPA-E’s “Innovative Natural-gas
Technologies for Efficiency Gain in Reliable and Affordable
Thermochemical Electricity-generation” (INTEGRATE) program. The
INTEGRATE program has the objective of developing natural gas
fueled distributed generation systems with ultra-high efficiency
(>70%). The project will further develop FuelCell Energy’s
advanced solid oxide cell technology, specifically focused on
advanced stack designs capable at operating at elevated pressure.
High pressure operation allows the configuration of very high
efficiency power generation systems, and also enhances the
efficiency of solid oxide based electrolysis and energy storage
systems.
“FuelCell Energy is commercializing solid oxide systems for
power generation, energy storage, and electrolysis, and this
project will further advance the high efficiency operation of SOFC
in all of these applications,” said Tony Leo, Vice President of
Advanced Applications & Technology Development for FuelCell
Energy. “The performance enhancements enabled by the project will
allow higher efficiency utilization of domestic fuels, as well as
high efficiency electrolysis and energy storage for integration of
intermittent renewable power sources in the grid.”
Fuel cells use chemistry to convert a fuel source into
electricity and heat in a highly efficient process that emits
virtually no pollutants as the fuel is not burned. The combination
of near-zero pollutants, modest land-use needs, and quiet operating
nature of these stationary fuel cell power plants facilitates
installation in urban locations where the power is used. Customers
benefit with operating cost reductions delivered in a manner that
supports sustainability goals and enhances power
reliability.
