Accelerated deployment of FC-systems

This project has been focusing on developing a mCHP system based on leading reformer an stack technology. The development has been successful though development of test systems and Alpha and Beta prototypes resulting in a system design that has been demonstrated in both Danish mCHP project and with real and customers in Japan and South Africa.

The mCHP product has achieved an electrical efficiency of 35% and total efficiency of 95% which exceeds the objectives of the project.

The product has been demonstrated in the Danish mCHP project and the 20 systems have accumulated more than 125.000 hours over a heating season with good performance and positive feedback from house owners. Single systems have passed 15.000 hours of operating but due to time limitations accumulating more hours has not been possible. All systems are still per-forming well after the demonstration period.

Cost reduction goals have nor entirely been met, and cost reduction efforts will be continued focus in a next generation mCHP product.

The average CO2 emission savings from a mCHP system in Denmark have been calculated to be around 1.500 kg CO2/year based on average CO2 content of 498 g/kWh in the Danish electricity grid.
