Design Considerations for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Auxiliary Power Units for Luxury Passenger Vehicle
SOFC systems, working at high temperatures of about 800°C, have recently attracted significant interests for application as automotive and stationary power supply systems. This paper explores the possibilities and limitations for achievement of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as 7 kW auxiliary power units on luxury passenger vehicles operating on diesel fuel. Various issues are discussed, e.g., the
