M40 General Meeting held at EPFL in Sion (CH)
Partners of the European project REACTT (Reliable Advanced Diagnostics and Control Tools for increased lifetime of solid oxide cell Technology) met on last April 18 and 19 in Sion (CH) .
During the two days of meeting, many progresses and results have been presented by all participants, in presence or remotely.
The sophisticated hardware and software platform (MDPC) is in its final stage of assembling and testing; all efforts are focused to assure an increment in reliability and efficiency of SOEs and rSOCs, improving the Remaining Useful Lifetime (RUL) of stacks and modules.
These are important advances for renewable energy applications, as an rSOC is capable of produces hydrogen in the presence of an excess of renewable energy, and then provides electrical power when RES production is low, consuming the stored hydrogen.
