摘要
New technology for electricity generation is required to be efficient, environmentally benign and able to handle a variety of fuels. The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) power system could be a promising technology which satisfies all these requirements. Plasma spray technology has become a practical process to produce the coatings for SOFC components. Especially, the low pressure plasma spraying process has been realized to form a dense electrolyte coating of yttria stabilized zirconia. The advantages of plasma spraying technology increase the fuel utilization to 87.1% and the efficiency to 38% in SOFC electric power conversion. On the basis of the ability of cell characteristics achieved by plasma spraying process, a 1kW module has been developed and successfully operated for 3000 hours. The module has been also scaled up to 10kW and is now under operating.
