| Description | J Power (Japan), the new trading name of Electric Power Development Co following privatization, is developing SOFC technology with the eventual aim of using it in a integrated coal gasification fuel cell combined cycle (IGFC) plant. In 2001 a 10kW internal reforming SOFC was operated successfully for 750 hours at an efficiency of 41.5% (High Heat Value). Next steps include simplifying the modular construction and upgrading performance before developing a 100kW level system suitable for commercial operation. J Power is also working on other aspects of the proposed IGFC plant, in which hydrogen and carbon monoxide produced by coal gasification will be supplied to the fuel cell. Coal gas is supplied to a gas turbine while waste heat is used to generate steam and drive a steam turbine. The whole project is being supported by the Japanese government and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). |
