A comprehensiveguide to the modelling and design of solid oxide fuel cell hybrid power plants
Thisbookexploresall technical aspectsof solid oxidefuel cell (SOFC) hybrid systems and proposes solutionsto a range of technical
problemsthat can arise from component integration.Followinga general introductionto the state -of-the-art in SOFC hybrid systems, the
authorsfocus on fuel cell technology, including the componentsrequiredto operatewith standardfuels. Micro-gasturbine(mGT)
technology for hybrid systemsis discussed, with special attention given to issuesrelated to the couplingof SOFCswith mGTs.
Throughout the bookemphasisisplaced on dynamic issues, includingcontrol systemsused to avoid risk conditions.
With an eye to mitigating thehigh costsand risks incurred with the buildingand use of prototypehybridsystems, the authors
demonstrate a proven, economically feasible approachto obtaining importantexperimental resultsusing simplified plantsthat simulate
both generic and detailedsystem-level behaviour using emulators. Computational modelsand experimental plantsare developedto
support the analysisof SOFC hybrid systems, includingmodelsappropriate for design, development and performance analysisat both
component and system levels.
Presents modelsfor a range of size units, technology variations, unit coupling dynamicsand start-up and shutdown behaviours
Focuses on SOFCs integration withmGTsin light of key constraintsand risk avoidance issuesunder steady-state conditionsand during
transient operations
Identifiesinteraction andcoupling problemswithin theGT/SOFC environment,including exergy analysisand optimization
2. Demonstratesan economical approachto obtaining important experimental resultswhile avoiding high-cost componentsand risk
conditions
Presents analytical/computational and experimental toolsfor the efficient designand development of hardware and software systems
Hybrid Systems Based on SolidOxide Fuel Cells: Modelling andDesign isa valuableresource for researchers and practicingengineers
involved infuel cell fundamentals, design anddevelopment. It isalso an excellent reference for academic researchersand ad vanced-
level studentsexploring fuel cell technology.
