AFCs are getting greater than 50 percent efficiency over most of the power curve (5 to 95 percent). Capital cost for the AFC stack is $300/kWe, and approximately $700 for the system. MCFC Japan: Japan has been providing support to three companies to develop MCFC technology. Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries and Hitachi developed 250-kW stacks and built a 1-MW MCFC pilot plant with an external reformer at Kawagoe, Mie Prefecture, consisting of four 250- kW stacks. The test operation started in July 1999 and ended in January 2000 after 5,000 hours of test operations. Since 2000, Japan has focused on commercialization and is supporting development of a pressurized 300-kW MCFC cogeneration system, followed by a 750-kW system to be completed in March 2004. Japan hopes to see commercialization start immediately thereafter, according to METI officials. Japan’s budget was $17 million on MCFC R&D in 2002. Europe: Italy and Spain have been working on research and development of MCFC systems as a collaborative project called MOLCARE program. The project has a budget of 10 billion pesetas (35 percent by Spain and 65 percent by Italy). They have partnered with industry to develop and conduct a 1,000-hour test on a 100 kWe unit. The European Direct Fuel Cell Consortium carries out the largest European program for the commercialization of MCFC. They are developing an innovative direct fuel cell process which is internally reformed and operates on humidified hydrocarbon fuels. They have successfully tested a 292 cell, 155 kW stack (60 percent of maximum power). United States: FuelCell Energy is developing an externally manifolded internally reformed MCFC. FuelCell Energy has reached the 50 MW manufacturing capacity and plans to have 400 MW capacity by 2004. They have also constructed a 400 kWe test facility. They have successfully completed the manufacture and test of 16 stack (4 modules), 2 MWe test in Santa Clara, California, for 4,000 hours. Details on Fuel Cell Energy field site are found in Table 10-3. SOFC Japan: The Kansai Electric Company has tested a four-cell stack and accumulated 10,529 hours of operation at high current densities and completed 101 thermal cycles. Tokyo Gas started research and development of a planar SOFC in 1993. They conducted a 1.7 kW module test with stable performance. Australia: Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited demonstrated a 5 kWe laboratory prototype fuel cell in 1997. Their system has thin sheet steel components as interconnects in a planar fuel cell design. They are scaling up to a 25 kWe pre-commercial stack module. Canada: Ontario Hydro has tested a single Siemens-Westinghouse cell for 1725 hours. Over 1425 of the hours were at elevated pressure of 5 atm. Europe: The ELSAM/EDB project for a 100 kWe Siemens-Westinghouse SOFC field unit has operated from January 1998. The unit was to operate until January 2000 with a total of 17,500 test hours according to the plan. 10-23PDF Image | Fuel Cell Handbook (Seventh Edition)
