Ceres' partner Weichai launches stationary power SOFC system

at ceremony to mark its CE certification with TÜV SÜD

 

Horsham, UK:  On Saturday 18 February, Ceres' strategic partner Weichai
Power, unveiled its 'world-leading high-power metal supported solid oxide fuel
cell (SOFC) system' based on Ceres' technology.

 

In a ceremony - attended by Tan Xuguang, Chairman of Weichai Power, and
Jonathan Heywood, Director of Ceres China, as part of the 11th International
Conference of ICE Reliability in Jinan, China - Weichai announced that its
SOFC power system using Ceres' technology has passed the EU CE certification
of the international authoritative testing organisation, TÜV SÜD.

 

The SOFC stationary power system has been demonstrated in Weichai's Fuel Cell
Industrial Park and with Weifang Energy Group, where Weichai announced it has
achieved cumulative operation of more than 30,000 hours.  The system can
start and stop up to four times faster than other technologies, with power
generation efficiency of more than 60% and cogeneration efficiency more than
85%. Installed in modular units, it can be scaled to megawatts of power
output, making 'SOFC another major strategic pillar of Weichai's diversified
development of energy'.

 

Weichai estimates that when its products reach 1GW of distributed power
deployed, it has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by around two
million tonnes per year, compared with electricity drawn from the grid and
save around 600 million cubic metres of natural gas, compared with traditional
natural gas internal combustion engine generator sets.
