Development of the 5kW_e SteelCell® Technology Platform for Stationary Power and Transport Applications

Ceres Power has active commercial programs at 1kWe, 5kWe, 10kWe and 10's of kWe. To support higher power applications Ceres has developed an innovative 5kWe-class stack design which can be used in an array to achieve higher power outputs for both stationary power and commercial vehicle applications. The stack incorporates learning from multiple development cycles and tens of thousands of hours of testing the mature 1kWe SteelCell® stack design, with several significant design improvements. This stack design has been successfully incorporated into several different customer's systems, with outstanding electrical efficiency and mechanical robustness demonstrated, the latter facilitating the use of an SOFC stack for transportation applications.
