Abstract
The unique and beneficial characteristics of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology hold much promise for their eventual widespread adoption in numerous residential and commercial building applications. Nevertheless, cost and durability challenges remain that currently limit SOFC technology penetration in stationary energy applications. Under the U.S. DOE ARPA-E INTEGRATE program, the Colorado School of Mines and it partners are developing a novel hybrid stationary power system comprised of an intermediate temperature (600°C), solid oxide fuel cell stack integrated with a high efficiency stationary engine and novel balance-of-plant (BOP) equipment. In collaboration with Colorado State University, Kohler Power Systems, and Air-Squared, Inc., the project aims to demonstrate a system that can generate power (125 kW) from natural gas at high electric efficiency (>70%-LHV), and low cost (<900 $/kW). Project activities on the hybrid SOFC/IC engine system development and system requirements are discussed.
