Construction of a 30kW SOFC Gas Turbine Hybrid Power Plant

摘要: Hybrid power plants consisting of a gas turbine coupled with solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) convert chemically bound energy into electrical energy. They can be operated at higher efficiencies than conventional plants. Theoretical studies suggest up to 70%. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) aims build and operate hybrid plant an output 30 kW. The system concept design the have been finalized specification all major components has carried out. Currently, different are being purchased tested. The presentation gives overview current status project illustrates general plant. All described. Important specifications characteristics presented. Results component tests presented where available expected operating range is specified.
