Object of the contract
Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot.
The Awarding Authority undertakes national and world-leading research into the sustainable production of energy. To achieve this, considerable investment has been made into the facilities available to researchers and students.
SERC requires a solid oxide cell test setup in order to achieve the aims and objectives of Work Package 7 of the WEFO-funded FLEXIS project, which focusses on the efficient use of hydrogen and syngas feedstocks.
This work package will address a number of the research, development and deployment issues associated with fuel cells for stationary application.
To facilitate some of this activity, a new fuel cell test facility will be set up at the USW Hydrogen Centre in Baglan. As the current commercially available fuel cells offer such promise for improving energy efficiency, the project will also identify opportunities for deployment of industrial scale fuel cells and fuel cell installation within communities and buildings to realize ultra-high efficiency CHP.
Full specification for solid oxide cell test setup provided in Additional Documents on the website below.
