Upcoming Webinar
Manufacturing Cost Analyses of Fuel Cell Systems for Non-Transportation Applications
January 24, 2017 | 12–1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
FCTO will present a live webinar entitled "Manufacturing Cost Analyses of Fuel Cell Systems for Non-Transportation Applications" on Tuesday, January 24, from 12 to 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. In this webinar, Vince Contini from Battelle will describe Battelle's five-year program to evaluate fuel cell system manufacturing costs at various production volumes, system capacities, and system designs for applications including material handling equipment, primary power and combined heat and power, backup power, and auxiliary power. Proton exchange membrane fuel cell and solid oxide fuel cell systems were considered for each application with detailed cost analysis where appropriate. Systems ranging from 1 kW to 250 kW were evaluated based on applicability to the various market segments. The cost evaluations were based on Design for Manufacture Assembly (DFMA) modeling of representative stack designs. Balance of plant cost models were developed by obtaining vendor quotes for individual components or additional DFMA analysis for custom components. In conclusion, the ongoing success of fuel cell systems into material handling equipment applications, with real-world value propositions, will be reviewed with discussion on how other applications can benefit from this experience.
