• The Solid Oxide Fuel Cells team developed balance‐of‐plant designs that flatten out load and temperature swings on a solid oxide fuel cell power plant, as well as researched stack materials that are more durable under load and temperature swings. The team also designed and built a solid oxide fuel cell testing rig with suitable balance‐of-plant for the testing of commercial SOFC single cells. Team members included James Dempsey III, Jeffrey Kerr and Joseph Tran, and the team’s adviser was Shengmin Guo.
