Development of High Efficiency Fuel Cell Power Plant Combined with Gas Turbine”, paper presented at

Abstract

A high temperature fuel cell power plant combined with gas turbines is a new power generation style that can provide extremely high efficiency and low pollutant. A number of cycle simulations about the efficiency of the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) or the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) combined with gas turbines have been carried out as high temperature fuel cell power plants. Several basic technology establishments on the fuel cells themselves and the developments of the balance of plant machineries lead to recent demonstrations of small capacity power generation units. Performance and cost that can meet the market requirements should be attained as the most important items throughout the demonstrations prospecting the deployment to the larger capacity power plants
