<strong>NUWC</strong> SOFC Test Facility<br />
& Prototype SOFC Cell Stack w/Reformer<br />
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center (<strong>NUWC</strong>) Division Newport is<br />
providing independent testing and evaluation of solid oxide fuel cell<br />
(SOFC) stacks being developed under DOE’s Solid State Energy<br />
Conversion Alliance (SECA) program.<br />
This testing targets SOFC performance in an air-independent<br />
environment, which simulates operating conditions of Unmanned<br />
Undersea Vehicles (UUVs).<br />
Through an IA w/DOE, FY09 Testing of Versa SOFC stacks (28 cell)<br />
will demonstrate upwards of 1 kW with Reformed S-8 and Pure O2.<br />
FY08 Testing of Delphi SOFC stacks (30 cell) demonstrated<br />
upwards of 1 kW using Reformed S-8 and Pure O2 under Closed<br />
Loop Anode gas recirculation conditions.
