Abstract
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are among the most promising technologies for high-efficiency electric energy generation from natural gas, both with simple fuel cell plants and with integrated gas turbine/steam turbine–fuel cell systems. The high temperature exhaust gas from SOFC can be utilized in other cycles, such as Rankine, Brayton for additional power generation or for heating and cooling purpose. The analysis shows that the resulting maximum efficiency of this SOFC-combined system can be up to 90%, depending upon the operating condition and configuration used.
Authors review the application of SOFC technology in power generation sector. They also examine the research work undertaken or going on in this field.
