Overview: The Rolls-Royce integrated planar solid oxide fuel cell (IP-SOFC) programme aims to overcome the disadvantages of both conventional tubular and planar solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The IP-SOFC design has the cells arranged as series connected multi-cell electrolyte membrane/electrode assemblies. The MEAs are applied on both sides of a flat porous ceramic support module fabricated by low cost ceramic fabrication processes. The IP-SOFC is a modular design which lends its self to scale-up in size and system flexibility. The aims of this paper were to increase the manufacturing and testing capability within the Rolls-Royce fuel cell facility in line with programme requirements.
