Fuel cell power plants design analysis

After the analysis of PCFB-1.0 plant design documentation, the circuit of new hybrid co-generation power plant with use of PCFB gasifier, solid oxide fuel cells, and gas turbine power plant with built-in air recuperator was proposed (see Fig. 7). Thermal capacity of power plant will be 1.14 MW at gasifier operation under pressure of 0.35 MPa and Ukrainian bituminous coal consumption of 222.6 kg/h. Electric capacity of solid oxide fuel cell module will be 375 kW and of electric capacity of high-speed gas turbine plant will be 125 kW.
