Hybrid solid oxide fuel cells–gas turbine systems for combined heat and power: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)/gas turbine (GT) hybrid power generation system combined with a compressed fuel processing unit (CFPU) is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper , the available waste heat from the gas-turbine has been examined, considering the promising ways to utilize this waste heat, and a comparison has been made between simple gas turbine without waste heat recovery, single-stage recovery, and double-stage waste-heat recovery hybrid system in terms of energy, exergy efficiency and exergy destruction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a cell-integrated multi-junction thermocouple array to measure the electrode temperature distribution from a working solid oxide fuel cell, yielding insights into key degradation modes including gas-leakage induced temperature instability, its relation to the theoretical open circuit voltage and current output, and propagation of structural degradation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid system consisting of a photoreactor and a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is proposed for on-site power generation from solar fuels, where the mass/momentum transport with the charge (electrons/ions) transport and the electrochemical/chemical reactions are coupled.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive review with respect to the structure, chemistry, design and selection of materials, underlying mechanisms, and performance of each SOFC component, and it opens up the future directions towards pursuing SOFC research.

TL;DR: A comparative study of basic design, working principle, applications, advantages and disadvantages of various technologies available for fuel cells is presented in this article, where the results indicate that fuel cell systems have simple design, high reliability, noiseless operation, high efficiency and less environmental impact.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the research in this area in the past one decade is presented in this paper, where an attempt has been made to present a comprehensive review on the research on the unit sizing, optimization, energy management and modeling of hybrid renewable energy system components.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a detailed analysis of such optimum sizing approaches in the literature that can make significant contributions to wider renewable energy penetration by enhancing the system applicability in terms of economy.
