SOFC-Gas Turbine Hybrid Power Plant: Exergetic Study
View through CrossRef
The combined solid oxide fuel cells and gas turbine hybrid system is known to be a promise alternative for power generation with high efficiency. This paper presents the third part of the parametric study of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell/Gas Turbine (SOFC/GT) hybrid system generating 120 MW Net power. The studied parameters are Pressure P, pre-reformed fraction Xr, extraction fraction fs, H2 flow, and air flow. Their effects on the performances of SOFC-GT hybrid system are investigated. The Engineering Equations Solver (EES) simulation is established to analyze the SOFC-GT exergetic and energetic system performances. The results show that increasing the air and fuel flows enhance system exergy. In contrary, the pressure at the SOFC and the extraction fraction negatively affects the exergy performance of the hybrid plant. It is also found that the combustion chamber, pre-reformer, and SOFC represent the greatest exergy destroyers.
