To disseminate the results generated by the project and to raise

awareness of the needs for standardization for SOC testing and

industrialization, the final outcome workshop was organized in the

form of a booth at the Hannover Fair (“Hannover Messe”). The test

modules were presented, the process followed to arrive at

validated procedures and the context in which the protocols

operate. Many stakeholders were interviewed, yielding a wide

variety of inputs and interpretations. Two oral presentations were

given at the Technical Forum in addition to 5-day presence at the

booth and promotion of the “SOCTESQA” outcome during all byside events

To do this, it was decided to choose the right location, where the targeted audience was known to be present, rather than to organise a separate event where it would be difficult to engage and involve the wide range of interested parties. It was thus convened to rent a booth at the Hannover Fair, the largest exhibition on fuel cells and hydrogen in Europe, 24-28 April 2017.   2 The “SOCTESQA” booth Interaction with stakeholders has been part of “SOCTESQA” since the time of writing the project proposal, and a newsletter announcing the final event was sent out on April 12th 2017, containing a link to redeem a free entrance to the fair, as guest of the “SOCTESQA” booth. The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) sent a package of promotional material related to energy storage activities in the standardization process of this important organization. The working group on standardization of test procedures for solid oxide cells operated in regenerative mode – initiated by “SOCTESQA” – was highlighted in this material (see the following links:  http://www.iec.ch/about/brochures/pdf/technology/iec_work_energy_storage.pdf  http://www.iec.ch/whitepaper/pdf/iecWP-energystorage-LR-en.pdf ). The booth was the result of intensive deliberation between project partners as to the best presentation of results at the Fair, in order to gain most attention and communicate the project outcome most effectively. To this effect, the “SOCTESQA” booth was united to the DLR booth, in order to create a larger (common) space while keeping the two areas clearly distinguishable, see Figure 1. Impressions of the final result are shown in Figures 2 and 3. All project partners were represented at the booth during the week: ENEA (as main organizer and financier of the booth) with support from DLR and DTU for all 5 days; CEA, EIFER and JRC for one and a half days each.

These were seized as an opportunity to underline the importance of the project’s pre-normative activities in the context of international industrialization and product quality assurance ("Test procedures for SOFC/SOEC - implementation in international standards" presented by Stephen McPhail (Researcher - ENEA) on the 26th of April), as well as to explain the key results of the procedure validation carried out and completed within the project ("Test procedures standardization for industrialisation of SOFC/SOEC" presented by Eva Ravn Nielsen (Center Manager - DTU) on the 27th of April). The video recordings of these presentations can be viewed on YouTube, at the following links respectively: https://youtu.be/R0dOIZo10iY  https://youtu.be/eDiFcqGpdII  Overall, organizing the final workshop directly where the targeted audience was known to be present, rather than as a separate event where it would be difficult to engage and involve the wide range of interested parties, was considered a success, especially since the audience reached was very much larger than could be expected of a specific project workshop. It is now important to take note of the inputs gained during the Fair and to modulate the definition of the international standards accordingly,  Grant agreement No. 621245 – SOCTESQA SOCTESQA Deliverable Report D.7.4– Project outcome workshop – 22.05.2017 – Version submit 6 maintaining constant visibility of the FCH JU and the support of the European Commission towards the implementation of quality-assured procedures for SOC characterization and industrialisation. For a start, the finalized test modules will be made available on the ongoing “SOCTESQA” website, www.soctesqa.eu, for free download by all interested parties.
