20150207154 | FUEL CELL INTERCONNECTOR AND METHOD FOR MAKING A FUEL CELL INTERCONNECTOR - An interconnector for a solid oxide fuel cell is manufactured by single-press compacting a powder blend to form a green interconnector with a desired shape of a final interconnector. The powder blend includes chromium and iron, and may include an organic lubricant. At least 50 wt % or more of an iron portion of the powder blend comprises iron particles smaller than 45 um. The green interconnector is then sintered and oxidized to form the final interconnector. The oxidation step occurs in a continuous flow furnace in which a controlled atmosphere (e.g., humidified air) is fed into the furnace in the travel direction of the interconnector. The final interconnector comprises at least 90 wt % chromium, at least 3 wt % iron, and less than 0.2 wt % nitrogen. An average density within a flow field of the final interconnector may be less than 6.75 g/cc. | 07-23-2015 |

20130015659 | Tidal Turbine SystemAANM Ayre; RichardAACI HaverfordwestAACO GBAAGP Ayre; Richard Haverfordwest GB - A tidal flow energy generation system has tidal turbine generators and a controls system for controlling operation of the one or more tidal turbine generators and a flow determination device for determining variations in the flow at a distance from a respective turbine generator. The control system operates using input from the flow determination device to predict change in flow characteristics on course to impact on the turbine generators, such that an operational parameter of the turbine generator may be varied by the control system. The control system operating such that control of the turbine generator may be varied in response to input into the control means from the flow determination means. In this way, the system can operate to vary operation of the (or each) turbine generator in order to compensate for loading variations that will impact upon the turbine generator, the loading variations are predicted based upon the variations determined by the determination means. This reduces the risk of fatigue failure. | 01-17-2013 |
