Cell and stack test
This work package will be focused on test and characterization of SOEC cell and stack degradation with the aim of determining degradation mitigation strategies and identify degradation-wise “safe-operation” window. DTU will lead this work package and the key objectives are:
- Characterisation and quantification of degradation on cell level to target life-time prolonging cell improvements.
- Quantify differences in degradation behaviour at cell and stack level to separate degradation caused by stack environment from cell degradation.
- Identify and quantify life-time-dictating degradation mechanisms in stacks caused by long-term system operation.
- Map out the robustness/mechanical integrity of the state-of-the-art electrolyte.
