In the framework of the collaboration between the Australian fuel cell manufacturer Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited (CFCL) and the gas and electricity utility company GDF SUEZ, a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) micro-CHP system, named BlueGen, is being tested at the CRIGEN site in Paris. CRIGEN is one of GDF SUEZ= Research and Innovation Division centres. BlueGen integrates a fuel cell module that can produce power up to 2kWe under a very high efficiency of 60% (from natural gas low heating value to 230V/50Hz AC electricity). This BlueGen is installed within an experimental facility within CRIGEN. It is connected to the electric board and to a 200L Domestic Hot Water tank for the mCHP mode. These tests are a part of a program, that aims to validate the ability to use fuel cell systems within the residential sector, including a possible field test in a near future. The activities in 2011 and 2012 were divided into two phases. The first phase focused on analysis of resistance to thermal cycles of the BlueGen stack and coupling of a commercial Electric Vehicle with the BlueGen and grid charging. The second phase focuses on the durability study of the BlueGen stack. The general idea of this experiment is to validate the potential and limitations of a smallscale stationary SOFC system for residential mCHP applications, also coupled with the Electric Vehicle. The presentation will provide the major results of completed and on-going tests, such as the electrical efficiency, power modulation range, power ramps of the fuel cell (from 0 kW to 1.5kWe), resistance to thermal cycling and ability of the BlueGen to cover the needs of an Electric Vehicle, depending on charging profiles.
