The results of theoretical studies the possibilities using hybrid solid oxide fuel cell–gas turbine (SOFC-GT) systems for marine power plants are presented. A 500 kW auxiliary plant scheme stacks SOFCs in combination with a regenerative gas operating over-expansion based on our recent patent application is proposed. mathematical modelling showed opportunity to obtain efficiency about 55% optima...

Mg-based materials have been investigated as hydrogen storage materials, especially for possible onboard storage in fuel cell vehicles for decades. Recently, with the development of large-scale fuel cell technologies, the development of Mg-based materials as stationary storage to supply hydrogen to fuel-cell components and provide electricity and heat is becoming increasingly promising. In this...

developed lOkW class tubular SOFC modules for stationary power generation using Japanese town gas (13A) as fuel. A small module which consisted of 5 stacks (a stack consisted of 2 x 6 cells) generated 1.5kW at 0.2Alcm2 and achieved 55%-LHV efficiency at an average temperature of 900°C. A thermally self-sustaining module consisting of 20 stacks achieved 6.5kW at 0.2A/cm2 and 50%-LHV. relatively ...

This paper presents a methodology for quantitative analysis of the role of electromigration (EM) reliability and interconnect performance in determining the optimal interconnect design in low-WCu interconnect systems. It is demonstrated that EM design limits for signal lines are satisfied once interconnect performance is optimized.

| The ever increasing speeds and shrinking feature sizes that are typical of state of the art integrated circuits designs have made coupling due to interconnect and packaging a very important, sometimes dominant, factor in system performance. The ability to eeciently perform coupled circuit-interconnect simulation before fabrication is essential in order to detect signal degradation due to dela...
