Description

To meet these objectives, the team will manufacture a high-performance membrane electrode assembly that meets the program goals of 2.5 KW/gpgm power at 1.07 a CM-2 and 0.7 V after 25,000 hours of operation. The stacks will be manufactured on an integrated single line to meet the speed of 20,000 stacks per year at the target rates shown in table 1. The present gigafactory is capable of operating 24/7 with three 8-hour shifts. To meet the final program goals, 6 stacks per hour may be carried out in 6 parallel pieces of test equipment. Plug presently owns 3 test stations that can be used for break in, and the results will be extrapolated to assume the purchase of 3 more stations after completion of the program. A key metric for the program task is overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
