Optimized for High-Efficiency Continuous Operation 24h
The Doosan SOFC is optimized for continuous 24-hour power generation with high efficiency, featuring a power generation efficiency of 54.3% and an overall efficiency of 98.2%. It is designed with low gas consumption, taking into account both user cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability.
-
Small Installation Area
It is designed with a system area of 0.84㎡ (based on 10kW) for easy installation in confined buildings in urban areas. It can be installed in limited basement areas, thereby eliminating the issues and costs associated with securing a site.
-
Load adjustment possible when needed
The Doosan SOFC is the only product in Korea that can be put on standby (Idle power generation) mode when needed, thanks to the application of mid-low temperature SOFC technology for the first time in the country.
-
Distributed Energy that Can Be Installed Near the Demand Site
With high electrical efficiency, simultaneous production of heat and electricity, and a small installation area, it can be installed near high energy consumption areas such as urban areas and industrial complexes, allowing it to function as distributed energy.
PEMFC vs SOFC
| Capacity | PEMFC | SOFC | Key Features and Advantages by Fuel Cell Type | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electrolyte | Polymer Electrolyte | Solid Oxide |
[PEMFC] · Load-following operation enables easy adjustment of power generation according to electricity demand. · High thermal efficiency is advantageous when there is high demand for heat utilization such as hot water. [SOFC] · High electrical efficiency is advantageous for sites with high electricity usage or those requiring continuous power generation. |
