Solid Oxide Development Status at DTU Energy

Solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysis (SOFC, SOE = SOC) are efficient technologies to link together energy sectors such as power, gas, and heat. They can thus emerge as key technologies in the current energy transitions towards systems based on renewable energy sources. DTU Energy has a long history of research in the areas of SOC and has currently an effort of ca. 35 person-years per year.

The presentation will introduce the recent achievements ranging from materials development, cell & stack development, and advanced diagnostics to system analysis and modelling. Examples are significantly improved cells based on state-of-the-art, metal supported cell types, use of alternative fuels such as ammonia and biogas, stack and stack component development, and increased basic understanding aided by phase-field and multi-physics modelling.
