| 报告介绍 | Abstract
Clean and efficient power systems based on solid oxide fuel cells have been under development for a variety of applications by many companies in Europe, Asia and North America for the last three decades. Bloom Energy (USA) has begun commercialization of large distributed power generation systems (>100 kW), Kyocera and its partners (Japan) of residential CHP units (700 W), and Lilliputian Systems (USA) of small chargers for consumer electronics. Ceramic Fuel Cells Ltd. (Australia/Germany) also appears close to commercializing residential CHP units. Commercialization has been facilitated by national and local subsidies for fuel cells and for the use of biogases as fuel, feed-in-tariffs for unused electricity, and third-party financing of units. This lecture will describe and discuss the commercialization status of the solid oxide fuel cell systems.
