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.

The efficient end environmentally friendly production of electricity is undoubtedly one of the 21st century priorities. Since renewable sources will be able to guarantee only a share of the future demand, the present research activity must focus on innovative energy devices and improved conversion systems and cycles. Great expectations are reserved to fuel cell systems. The direct conversion from chemical to electrical energy eliminates environmental problems connected with combustion and bypass the stringent efficiency limit due to Carnot’s principle. Still in infancy, high-temperature fuel cells present the further advantage of feasible cycle integration with steam or gas turbines. In this paper, a molten carbonate fuel cell plant is simulated in a cycle for power generation. The introduction of an external combustion gas turbine is evaluated with the aim of efficiency and net power output increase. The results show that the proposed cycle can be conveniently used as a source of power generation. As compared to internal combustion gas turbine hybrid cycles found in the literature the plant is characterized by fuel cell greater simplicity, due to the absence of pressurization, and gas turbine increased complexity, due to the presence of the heat exchange system.
