Optimized Up-scaled Technology for Next Generation Solid Oxide Electrolysis

OUTFOX的主要目标是消除SOEL技术部署中的规模限制因素，同时证明其成为绿色制氢首选的潜力。通过将80千瓦规模的实验结果与最佳电池和系统设计的识别相结合，OUTFOX将为100兆瓦以上的工业规模系统准备SOEL， LCOH低至2.7欧元/千克氢气，并适用于大规模生产线。工业驱动的OUTFOX联盟将结合电池，堆栈和模块开发，制造和全系统评估方面的专业知识，以推进SOEL的成熟，并为清洁氢JU SRIA的目标做出贡献。通过使用比当前高容量技术厚度少25%的电池，OUTFOX将实现至少0.85 A/cm2的电流密度，通过减少总材料需求来提高可持续性。扩大规模将从两个方面进行：(1)开发和验证几何面积高达800平方厘米的与大规模制造技术兼容的单元，以及(2)验证优化设计概念，增加每个模块的堆叠数量。合作伙伴将在参考规模（144 cm2）、工业规模（bbb300 cm2）和下一代电池（900 cm2）的单个重复单元中验证高电流密度运行，15个电池的短堆栈和80千瓦的原型系统，从而实现超过10,000小时的SOEL运行。两个独立的80kw测试活动，两种不同的堆栈配置，总共超过4000个运行小时，将在壳牌阿姆斯特丹的工厂进行现场测试，这将超出呼叫文本的范围，为OUTFOX技术提供全面验证，从而为设计全尺寸100+ MW SOEL系统提供关键数据，包括模块配置和工厂要求的所有平衡。并为项目结束后的多兆瓦示范技术做准备。

The main aim of OUTFOX is to remove scale as limiting factor in the deployment of SOEL technologies, while proving their potential to become the preferred option for green hydrogen production. By combining experimental results up to 80 kW scales with identification of optimal cell and system designs, OUTFOX will prepare SOEL for industrial scale systems of 100+ MW with an LCOH as low as €2.7/kg hydrogen and applicability to mass manufacturing lines. The industrially-driven OUTFOX consortium will combine expertise on cell, stack and module development, manufacturing, and full system evaluation to advance the maturity of SOEL and contribute to the targets of the Clean Hydrogen JU SRIA. OUTFOX will achieve current densities of at least 0.85 A/cm2 through the use of cells with 25% less thickness than current high volume state-of-the-art, improving sustainability through reducing total materials requirements. Scale-up will be approached from two sides: (1) development and validation of cells with geometric areas up to 800 cm2 that are compatible with at-scale manufacturing techniques, and (2) validation of optimized design concepts with increased numbers of stacks per module. The partners will validate high current density operation with reference scale (144 cm2), industrial scale (>300 cm2) and next-generation cells (900 cm2) in single repeating units, short stacks of 15 cells, and 80 kW prototype systems, leading to more than 10,000 hours of SOEL operation. Two separate 80 kW testing campaigns with two different stack configurations and a total of more than 4000 operating hours, to be tested onsite at the Shell facilities in Amsterdam, will go beyond the scope of the call text to provide a comprehensive validation of the OUTFOX technology, thus providing key data for design of a full scale 100+ MW SOEL system, including the module configuration and all balance of plant requirements, and preparing the technology for a multi-MW demonstration following the project end.
