Abstract

Abstract : Over the past several years, Nexceris has been designing high efficiency SOFC systems based on Nexceris' high power density, sulfur tolerant, and internal reforming stack attributes. This work is supported by utilizing an in-house built process model which can accurately predict stack and system performance over a wide array of operating conditions (starting fuel, reforming conditions, fuel flow rate and utilization, cell area, number of cells, etc.). Nexceris currently is demonstrating its SOFC technology at 1-5 kW scale via in-furnace stack testing, ex-furnace hot box testing, and breadboard system testing. This paper will provide a status update on Nexceris' SOFC technology and design capabilities.
