The integration of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and combustion turbine technologies can result in combined-cycle power plants, fueled with natural gas. that have high efficiencies and clean gaseous emissions. Results of a study are presented in which conceptual designs were developed for three power plants based upon such an integration, and ranging in rating from 3 to 10 MW net ac. The plant cycles are described, and characteristics of key components are summarized. In addition, plant design-point efficiency estimates are presented, as well as values of other plant performance parameters.

Integrated Gasification Fuel Cell (IGFC) power plants incorporating solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are attractive alternatives to traditional pulverized coal-fired and Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plants. IGFC systems are projected to achieve electrical generation efficiencies greater than 50% based on high heating value of coal, while separating at least 90% of the carbon dioxide emissions for capture and environmentally secure storage. A comprehensive IGFC system design and optimization study is presented based on recent SOFC performance testing and technology advancements. Details of the system power island cost break-down are also presented, indicating the cost-competitiveness of IGFC systems relative to other coal-fueled power generation technologies. Comparisons of the projected IGFC system efficiency and water consumption are made to pulverized coal-fired and IGCC power plants.
