✦ Synopsis

Cypress Semiconductors tests SOFC power

In California, Cypress Semiconductors plans to install what will be the San Francisco Bay Area's first fuel cell power generator, in the fall. The 5 kWe SOFC power plant is being produced by Ion America Corporation, based near Sunnyvale, according to a report in the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal.

The Cypress installation is a demonstration project to see the feasibility of the product; the company is a minority investor in Ion America.

Last summer the US Office of Naval Research awarded Ion America a $2.7m contract to develop advanced SOFC stack components for primary and regenerative stationary applications [FCB, July 2004].
