Project Details
Description
The FC-COGEN project aims to develop and demonstrate a 20-kW micro combined heat and power (CHP) system utilizing high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) technology. This system is intended for both back-up and primary generation of thermal energy and electricity in off-grid and on-grid residential and industrial applications. The solution is designed to replace fossil fuel-powered combustion engines in the targeted segment.
To optimize control and integration, the project incorporates a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setup to emulate fuel cell operation. This approach allows for real-time testing and refinement of control strategies, ensuring optimal performance and seamless integration of the fuel cell system within various application environments.
By eliminating harmful emissions like NOx and SOx and reducing CO2 emissions by 99% when fueled by renewable methanol, the project aligns closely with national and international emission reduction goals.
The micro-CHP solution is also engineered for seamless integration with other renewable technologies and will be demonstrated by the project partners in a relevant environment. With the growing demand for zero-emission cogeneration of heat and electricity, there is strong potential for commercializing the developed micro-CHP solution.
