The chosen power range of the systems of at least 500 W distinctly stands out from competitor technologies with fuel cells and closes a gap for energy demands of up to 12 kWh/day, which is currently primarily covered by diesel generators from 4 kW.
An SOFC system with a power range of at least 500 W is to be conceived and configured for the abovementioned uses, along with the development of applications to integrate the systems for their intended uses. A particular focus of the application area lies in a hybrid solution deploying lithium batteries in the vehicle electrical system. In total, 16 field test systems are to be developed and manufactured by new enerday in three generations, as well as undergoing comprehensive tests on test benches, climatic chambers and environmental testing facilities. Fischer Panda develops the specific applications to integrate the systems into the test beds and plays the leading role in the field tests and their evaluation.
