Abstract

Abstract : GE–Fuel Cells (GEFC) has developed a large scale, robust SOFC stack, suitable for mass production. The technology is based on work done at GE's Global Research Center over the past decade investigating thermal spray coatings for SOFC applications. GEFC was founded in 2014 as an internal start-up to bring this technology to market. In two years the company has demonstrated high quality thermal spray coatings on metal-supported substrates and produced cells and stacks in a range of sizes. The stacks produced by this process have proven to be highly reproducible with successful 500-hour demonstrations in a 50 kW prototype field unit.
