  • Solid oxide fuel cell system and method of operating the same using peak shaving gas
    Patent number: 11876257
    Abstract: A fuel cell system and method for using a peak shaving gas, the system including: a fuel inlet configured to receive fuel from a fuel source; a catalytic partial oxidation (CPOx) reactor configured to at least partially oxidize the fuel during startup of the system; a blower configured to provide air to the CPOx reactor; a gas analyzer configured to determine a composition of fuel provided to the CPOx reactor from the fuel inlet; an oxidation catalyst configured to reduce an O2 content of fuel received from the CPOx reactor; a reforming catalyst configured to partially reform fuel received from the oxidation catalyst; and a stack of fuel cells configured to generate electricity using fuel received from the reforming catalyst.

  • Fuel cell system including inductive heating element and method of using same
    Patent number: 10930943
    Abstract: A fuel cell system and method of operating the same, the system including: a fuel cell stack and a reaction zone configured to receive a fuel/air mixture; an electromagnetic induction glow plug configured to heat the fuel/air mixture; and an alternating current (AC) generator configured to provide an AC voltage to the glow plug. The glow plug includes a housing extending outside of the hotbox, a heating element disposed in the housing, and a coil coiled around the housing, electrically connected to the AC generator, and configured to inductively heat the heating element.
