Power-dense, Scalable, JP-5/JP-8/DF2 Fueled, SOFC Power Generator Navy SBIR FY2016.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2016.1 Topic No.: N161-072 Topic Title: Power-dense, Scalable, JP-5/JP-8/DF2 Fueled, SOFC Power Generator Proposal No.: N161-072-0490 Firm: Precision Combustion, Inc. 410 Sackett Point Road North Haven, Connecticut 6473 Contact: Subir Roychoudhury Phone: (203) 287-3700 Web Site: http://www.precision-combustion.com Abstract: Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) has operated solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) at 0.5 - 2 kW scales, on high sulfur JP-8, for over 1000 hours. A standalone 1 kW generator prototype has been demonstrated. It is based on unique PCI innovations relating to sulfur cleanup, fuel reformation, hybrid burners, stack selection and integration. PCI proposes to build on this experience to develop and demonstrate a 1.2 kWe logistic fueled, SOFC generator. During Phase I a MIL-SPEC compliant design with a clearly articulated path to meeting the topic's weight and fuel consumption requirements of Benefits: The primary market for the proposed technology will be for military tactical power units in the 1.2 - 60 kW range with a first application in the Infrastructure Support (IS) subsystem of the Deployed Joint Command and Control (DJC2) System. A high efficiency, low weight, scalable fuel cell power generation system capable of battlefield use and meeting MIL-SPEC requirements, would not only increase a soldier's mobility, but also provide significant cost and logistics benefits. Success in military markets will lead to cost reductions as volume increases, thus enabling penetration of commercial markets at desirable sizes. Commercial applications would be sought concurrently with military/other government applications, which may include Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), Combined Heat and Power (CHP), back-up power generators, and others.
