Abstract

Intermediate-temperature(IT) solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs) were developed using lanthanum gallate electrolyte, samarium cobaltite cathode and the cermet anode of nickel and ceria. High efficiency operation below 800C was enabled using planar disk type cells with unique seal less stack design. The first 10 kW-class combined heat and power (CHP) system provided AC output power of 10 kW with electrical and overall efficiency of 41 and 82 %HHV, respectively. Optimization of cell-stack components to increase the output power density is in progress.
