Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA)

The Department of Energy's Solid State Energy Convergence Alliance (SECA) brings together government, industry, and the scientific community to promote the development of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) for a variety of energy needs. SECA is an alliance of industry groups who individually plan to commercialize SOFC systems for pre-defined markets; research and development institutions involved in solid-state development activities; and government organizations that provide funding support and management of the program. The SECA alliance was formed to accelerate the commercial readiness of SOFC systems in the 3 kW to 10 kW range for use in stationary, transportation, and military applications.

Delphi and its partner, Battelle Pacific Northwest Division, are one of the SECA industry teams conducting a 10-year, $138 million development project to develop and test an SOFC auxiliary power unit design that can be mass produced at low cost. Delphi's activities with SECA focus initially on stationary applications. Delphi is also addressing the need for electric power generation systems for commercial vehicle, military, and passenger car applications.
