The Alpha sub-MW DFC/T power plant unit was returned to the factory for post-operation inspection and analysis. The DFC/T unit accomplished a major achievement by successfully completing 8000 hours of operation at the Billings site. After successful completion of the factory tests, the unit was shipped to the Billings Clinic in Billings, MT, for field demonstration tests. The resulting high efficiency in conversion of chemical energy to electricity far exceeded any sub-MW class power generation equipment presently in the market. The Alpha Unit achieved an unsurpassed electrical efficiency of 58% (LHV natural gas) during the factory tests. Factory acceptance tests of the Alpha DFC/T power plant were conducted at Danbury, CT. This report summarizes the progress made in development of Direct FuelCell/Turbine (DFC/T) stack module with the mechanical balance-of-plant and electrical balance-of-plant.
