In order to improve energy density of the underwater power plant,an air independent propulsion(AIP)power system combining closed Brayton cycle and solid oxide fuel cell was constructed,which was based on the high energy density of the metal aluminum-water combustion. For the output power lever of 100kW,mathematical models of two kinds of AIP combined power systems were established,and analyzed the system parameters through the heat transfer characteristics of the Brayton cycle and the SOFC cycle. The goals of the research were to maximize the release heat of the aluminum-water combustion,improve the quality of the release heat of the aluminum-water combustion,optimize the power distribution and main parameter design of the combined power system. The results show that improving the heat quality of the aluminum-water combustion had more advantages on improving the efficiency and energy density of the system. The output power of SOFC is 50.98kW,the Brayton cycle is 49.13kW,and the power generation efficiency of the system is 40.02%.
