项目摘要

The UK government aims an ambitious target of 78% emission reduction by 2035 compared to 1990. The hydrogen produced through renewable sources such as biomass plays a key role in realising this target. Hydrogen storage and transport is currently challenging. In addition, the hydrogen quality concern must be taken into account. A promising solution is conversion of this fuel in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) to heat and power. The SOFC possesses unique features such as being the most efficient device for the conversion of chemical energy to power. This project aims to investigate the gasification product (syngas) as a promising fuel for SOFC. The main focus of project is estimation and improvement of SOFC longevity when fuelled by syngas from a biomass gasification system. To achieve this, high-tech experimental facilities will be used to generate Big Data for SOFC lifetime. Gathering of data will be achieved via relevant characterisation equipment and techniques. It will be achieved by deploying an experimental framework and shortlisting operating scenarios that simulate the real-life operations. This will be used for the development of a novel SOFC longevity model with application in electrolyser technology. It also allows to investigate other potential biofuels and their impact on fuel cell. The outcome of this project will provide an accurate model with the capability for consistent development, reducing time and costs of fuel cell development, contributing massively towards the UK emissions targets of 2030.

与1990年相比，英国政府的目标是到2035年的雄心勃勃的目标减少78％。通过可再生能源（例如生物质）生产的氢在实现这一目标中起着关键作用。氢存储和运输目前具有挑战性。此外，必须考虑氢质量的关注。一个有希望的解决方案是将这种燃料在固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC）中转化为加热和动力。 SOFC具有独特的功能，例如是将化学能转化为电力的最有效的设备。该项目旨在调查气化产品（SYNGA）作为SOFC的有希望的燃料。项目的主要重点是在生物质气化系统中加油时，SOFC寿命的估计和改善。为了实现这一目标，高科技实验设施将用于生成SOFC寿命的大数据。数据将通过相关的特征设备和技术来实现数据。这将通过部署实验框架和模拟现实生活运营的入围操作场景来实现。这将用于开发新型的SOFC寿命模型，并在电解器技术中应用。它还允许研究其他潜在的生物燃料及其对燃料电池的影响。该项目的结果将提供一个准确的模型，具有一致开发的能力，减少燃料电池开发的时间和成本，从而极大地促成了2030年英国的排放目标。
