A dynamic system model is presented for a 1 MW Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell/Gas Turbine (FC/GT) hybrid power generation system. Results are shown for both a fuel step reduction at the anode inlet, and a voltage step reduction to the fuel cell. Results showed significant thermal consequences at the cathode inlet for both perturbations. To mitigate these thermal consequences, methods of airflow management were examined and indicated that reducing the total gas turbine air flow worked better than an air bleed arrangement. As one option for air flow management, a control for the turbine speed was studied. These results are also presented showing that the thermal conditions are managed far better with such a control method.

Abstract As a clean and efficient power generation device, molten carbonate fuel cell(MCFC)can directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy at the operating temperature of 650 degrees, avoiding the heat loss caused by the Carnot cycle, and effectively reducing the emission of CO2 and other pollutants. This paper introduces the background, basic principle, system design and current situation of fused carbonate fuel cell at home and abroad, and explains the technical problems that molten carbonate power generation technology is facing. At the same time, the cost of the molten carbonate power generation system is analyzed, and the present cost and the cost after industrialization are compared and evaluated to provide a reference for the economy of the molten carbonate fuel cell power generation system.

Abstract In order to solve the problems of the preparation and matching characteristics of key materials in the development of large area and large power molten carbonate fuel cell(MCFC) stack, the assembly and test operation method of 10 kW MCFC stack is proposed. In this paper, the preparation method of matrix and electrode for large area MCFC is proposed. A 10 kW class MCFC power generation system with 120 cells and an effective area of 0.2 m2 for each cell is assembled and operated. In the constant voltage discharge test, the maximum output power is 16.51kw and the current density is greater than 95 mA/cm2. In view of many experiments and analysis, an effective online evaluation method for the baking effect of MCFC electrolyte matrix is obtained, which makes the matrix, electrode and molten salt electrolyte in the molten carbonate fuel cell body form a good match, which has an important guiding significance for improving the assembly and long-term operation of MCFC battery stack. The development and performance test method of the MCFC stack in this paper will provide effective theoretical and experimental guidance for the subsequent development of the larger MCFC power generation system, which is of great significance to promote the commercial demonstration and promotion of MCFC.
