Actions for Development of molten carbonate fuel cell power plant technology. Quarterly technical progress report No. 8, July 1, 1981-September 30, 1981
The overall objective of this 19-month program is to develop and verify the design of a prototype molten carbonate fuel cell stack which meets the requirements of a 1990's-competitive coal-fired electrical utility central station or industrial cogeneration power plants. During this quarter, activity continued in all four task areas: Task 1 - system studies to define the reference power plant design; Task 2 - cell and stack design, development and verification; Task 3 - preparation for fabrication and testing of the full-scale prototype stack; and Task 4 - development of the cability to operate stacks on coal-derived gas. Progress is reported.
