Abstract
An SOFC system has been specially designed for a fuel mixture containing water and ethanol. Targets for the system include 5kW Net power output, a 50% net APU efficiency and the system should deliver full power within 30 minutes. In order to reach these targets AVL-List GmbH has developed novel technological solutions that have been integrated into a test stand system. Special metal supported stacks are being developed by Plansee that allow a rapid start and high electrical performance and efficiency. Initial results from all partners are very promising, as a step towards the final goal of a feasible SOFC system integrated into a roadworthy vehicle.
