The scope of the project is the development of integrated solutions based on the SOFC technology, to be tailored for island energy systems. Due to the new concept, higher efficiency and flexibility should be achieved compared to the existing solutions.

The main objective of SUNIES is to develop an integrated solution on poly-generation covering the specific needs of island systems (electricity, heat, refrigeration and drinking water). This can
be achieved through the development of:

a) a Base Concept composed of a SOFC and a Micro-GT (MGT), the so called Hybrid-SOFC-System and

b) a Triple Cycle Concept through the combination of a SOFC as a topping cycle to a GT and steam cycle (SOFC+MGT+ST).

Also a Reversible SOFC/SOEC Concept on medium to large scale island applications will be modelled and evaluated.
