This research outlines the dynamic performance of micro-tubular solid oxide fuel cells (mSOFCs), highlighting their advantages over traditional cells in thermal shock resistance and sealing issues. The study emphasizes the significance of load-following capabilities for real-world applications, illustrating the status of dynamic performance research with limited experimental results available. Findings demonstrate a rapid re-adjustment time and alignment with existing models, paving the way for further investigations, including scaling up to small stacks and exploring hydrocarbon fuels.

  1. Katie S. Howe Centre for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Research SOFC Research group www.fuelcells.bham.ac.uk www.hydrogen-wm-scratch.info Dynamic Performance of Micro-Tubular Fuel Cells

  2. Overview • Starting Point • Fuel cells • Status of dynamic performance research • Experimental Work • Results • Conclusions • Next Steps

  3. Starting Point: Fuel Cells • Change electrochemical energy into useful electricity • Like a battery, but not limited by how much fuel they can hold

  4. Starting Point: Fuel Cells • mSOFCs • Tubular • Better thermal shock resistance • Fewer issues with sealing

  5. Starting Point: Research Status Load-following capability is vital for most real-world applications In the literature: • Many papers on steady-state performance • Some modelling work on dynamic behaviour [1-3] • ...but hardly any experimental results [1] Nehter, P., 2006, Journal of Power Sources, 157(1), pp. 325-334. [2] Ota, T., Koyama, M., Wen, C. J., Yamada, Y., and Takahashi, H., 2003, Journal of Power Sources, 118(1-2), pp. 430-439. [3] Serincan, M. F., Pasaogullari, U., and Sammes, N. M., 2009, Journal of Power Sources, 194(2), pp. 864-872.

  6. Starting Point: Research Status • Thermal transport time dominates dynamics[4] • Readjustment time independent of step size[5] • Undershooting of voltage when current rises[5] • Size of undershoot related to step size [4] Bhattacharyya, D., and Rengaswamy, R., 2009, "A Review of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Dynamic Models," Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., 48(13), pp. 6068-6086 [5] Achenbach, E., 1995, "Response of a solid oxide fuel cell to load change," Journal of Power Sources, 57(1-2), pp. 105-109.

  7. Experimental Work - Method • Single cells made to in-house techniques[6] • Operated at 750C • Fuel: 20ml/minute of pure hydrogen • SolartronTM analytical 1400 Cell Test System • Apply sets of square pulses of current • Paper submitted[7] with precise details [6] Dhir, A., 2008, "Improved Microtubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells," PhD Thesis, University of Birmingham, [7] Howe, K. S.; Kendall, K., Transient Performance of Micro-tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. Journal of Fuel Cell Science and Technology 2010, .Paper Accepted – awaiting editorial changes

  8. Results Transient behaviour:

  9. Results

  10. Conclusions • Short re-adjustment time of <0.5s is independent of step size • Agreement with models in the literature • No under-shooting of voltage on the change • Suggests thermal transport is better than expected in these tubes

  11. Next Steps • Combination of cells into small stacks • Higher powers • Dynamic performance testing of stacks • Effects of changing to a hydrocarbon fuel on transient performance
