The fuel is desulfurized and pre-reformed before entering the SOFC. A burner was used to combust the remaining fuel after the SOFC stacks. The off-gases from the burner were used to produce steam in a HRSG (heat recovery steam generator). The bottoming steam cycle was modeled with two configurations: (1) a simple single pressure level and (2) a dual pressure level with both a reheat and a pre-heater. The SOFC stacks in the present SOFC-ST hybrid cycles were not pressurized. The dual pressure configuration steam cycle combined with SOFC cycle (SOFC-ST) was new and has not been studied previously. In each of the configuration, a hybrid recuperator was used to recovery the remaining energy of the off-gases after the HRSG. Thus, four different plants system setups were compared to each other to reveal the most superior concept with respect to plant efficiency and power. It was found that in order to increase the plant efficiency considerably, it was enough to use a single pressure with a hybrid recuperator instead of a dual pressure Rankine cycle.展开更多

On the other hand, hydrogen is one of the main components in some types of gasified biomass and syngas. Therefore, it is vital to investigate the influences of hydrogen fraction in inlet fuel on the cycle performance. In this work, a steady-state simulation of a hybrid tubular SOFC-gas turbine (GT) cycle is first presented with two configurations: system with and without anode exhaust recirculation. Then, the results of the model when fueled by syngas, biofuel, and gasified biomass are analyzed, and significant dependency of system operational parameters on the inlet fuel composition are investigated. The analysis of impacts of hydrogen concentration in the inlet fuel on the performance of a hybrid tubular SOFC and gas turbine cycle was carried out. The simulation results were considered when the system was fueled by pure methane as a reference case. Then, the performance of the hybrid SOFC-GT system when methane was partially replaced by H2 from a concentration of 0% to 95% with an increment of 5% at each step was investigated. The system performance was monitored by investigating parameters like temperature and flow rate of streams in different locations of the cycle; SOFC and system thermal efficiency; SOFC, GT, and cycle net and specific work; air to fuel ratio; as well as air and fuel mass flow rate. The results of the sensitivity analysis demonstrate that hydrogen concentration has significant effects on the system operational parameters, such as efficiency and specific work.展开更多
