Technical target

Actually, it is quite likely that the first area of broader technical ionic liquid use will indeed be a non-synthetic application. Why Certainly not because non-synthetic applications have shown more potential, more performance, or more possibilities, but because many of these are relatively simple, with clearly defined technical targets. The improvement over existing technology is often based on just one or a very few specific properties of the ionic liquid material, whereas for most synthetic appli-...

Although it is difficult to determine the quantitative requirements of plate and plate materials appropriately for various fuel cells and different applications in a development phase, such a target would be helpful to direct the development effort and make necessary trade-offs. The cascaded performance requirement targets in 2010 and 2015 for bipolar plates of fuel cells in transportation applications were set by the U.S. DoE (Department of Energy) according to functions of the plate mentioned before and overall requirements of performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost of a stack, as shown in Table 5.1 [7]. The technical target in the DoE s multiyear research, development, and demonstration plan has been popularly and worldwide...

It is vitally important to translate the various outward-looking perspectives into measurable and concrete technical targets for production managers and front-line personnel. Detailed value-driver trees are an excellent tool for establishing a direct link between financial indicators at the corporate level - such as Return on Invested Capital - and hands-on technical indicators that mean something to a production unit, such as tonnes of steam per tonne of product (Fig. 12.3). 

The technical goal for each of these Focus Areas is to gather sufficient information and validating experience on technology applications so that the responsible SDO or CDP can proceed with better data upon which to base requirements incorporated in its codes and standards. Each Focus Area is subdivided into key Target Areas, which identify important information needs for which information is required by SDOs and CDOs to fully develop codes and standards. Completion of RD D for the individual technical Target Areas, in conjunction with information distribution, is expected to result in the subsequent development of safe, performance-based codes and standards. The Roadmap will be implemented over the next five years as proposed in the timeline for the Focus Areas. 

E24.21 The mass percent of hydrogen in NaBH4 is 10.6%. This is above the range for technical targets (6-9%) and NaBR, could be a good candidate to consider. The problem, however, is that elevated temperatures for decomposition are required to liberate the hydrogen gas (typically above 500 C). 

Technical and economic targets were developed for direct hydrogen transportation PEM fuel cell systems and they are indicated along with the status in Table 3, as well as in Appendix A. The targets and status of gasoline-fueled systems remain the same as in FY 2001. Note that the Freedom CAR fuel cell technical team is currently considering revisions to all technical targets.

Demonstrate that DOE technical targets for size, weight and cost of water-gas-shift reactors can be met using monolith-supported Pt/ceria catalysts. 

Based on current performance levels, modeling suggests that a WGS reactor based on monoliths loaded with Pt/ceria catalysts will exceed DOE technical targets for reactor volume and weight. The reactor cost will be less than 3.00 per kilowatt.
