Developing a lower cost, higher efficiency SOFC mCHP system for the UK residential market.

该项目将结合Ceres Power独特的固体氧化物燃料电池（“SteelCell”）技术，Smart Power Solutions的高效电力电子系统以及全球OEM的专业知识，为住宅市场开发微型热电联产产品。成功将提供一个系统设计集成了显着的英国技术价值，并使一个决定，将在英国的产品现场试验和推出计划。创新英国基金对英国的这一发展至关重要，并将使英国市场的具体挑战得到更早的解决。此外，这笔资金将使Ceres Power能够提供强大，可靠和可扩展的燃料电池堆设计，以集成到世界领先的OEM的电力系统中。因此，加速了分布式发电系统的部署机会，该系统在英国和海外市场产生更便宜，更清洁和更安全的能源。

This project will bring together Ceres Power’s unique solid oxide fuel cell (“SteelCell”) technology, Smart Power Solutions’ high-efficiency power electronics systems, as well as the expertise of a global OEM, to develop a micro Combined Heat and Power product for residential markets. Success will deliver a system design integrated with significant UK technology value and enable a decision to be made on a UK product field trial and launch programme. Innovate UK funding is critical to this development happening here in Britain and will allow the specific challenges of the UK market to be addressed earlier. In addition, the funding will enable Ceres Power to deliver a robust, reliable and scalable fuel cell stack design for integration into the power systems of world-leading OEMs. Thus, accelerating the opportunity for the deployment of a distributed power system which generates cheaper, cleaner and more secure energy in the UK and in overseas markets.
