Goal
The AMPS project aims to advance, demonstrate and validate cost-effective, high-volume production techniques and quality control measures for manufacturing SOC (Solid Oxide Cell) components and stacks within live production environments.
This initiative unites prominent European companies engaged in the production chain of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells and Solid Oxide Electrolysers. Comprising automation firms such as Rocksoft and Smartal, along with manufacturing equipment producers SITEC, Haikutech, and Dosetec, the project also involves cell manufacturing by Elcogen AS and stack manufacturing by Elcogen Oy. The primary impetus behind this project stems from their resolute dedication to advancing their products and services, embarking on large-scale manufacturing endeavours. These industry partners receive support from esteemed research institutes including VTT, Polito, and VUTS.
Objectives
The primary goals of AMPS can be outlined as follows:
Automated high-speed cell production with integrated quality control
Automated high-speed bipolar/interconnect plate production and coating with integrated quality control
Automated high-speed stack assembly with integrated quality control
Complete component tracking and optimized mass-manufacturing by using virtual twins
Assessment and demonstration of target stack manufacturing cost of <800 €/kW at production volume of 100 MW/year
Establishing a European supply chain dedicated to SOC manufacturing equipment.
