Description
Summary:Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (JPOWER) started Tubular Type SOFC system development in collaboration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) in 1991. Stability of our improved structure featured with higher durability and lower cost has been verified using the 5kW-class Cartridge with 104 cell-tubes and 25kW-class Sub-module which consists of 4 Cartridges. As our new SOFC module structure was well established through great success in 5kW-class Cartridge and 25kW-class Sub-module test in collaboration with MHI, the prototype 150kW-class atmospheric SOFC co-generation system (SOFIT) development was planned by JPOWER. The system was installed at JPOWER's R&D Center in Chigasaki in 2006, and its verification test is started in January 2007. Our main purpose is definitely to verify and evaluate system durability and operation ability through more than 10,000 hours operation.
