The 21st century needs a modern grid to meet increasingly higher standards in grid efficiency, reliability, security, power quality and environmental impact. Conventional coal-fired power plants, as the major electricity power house, are being phased out due to more stringent environmental regulations. However the electricity demand still persists. Combined heat and power (CHP) as a decentralized power generation system can support the transition and formation of the modern grid because of its high efficiency, enhanced system resiliency, improved power quality, reduced cost and carbon emissions, and its fast response complimentary to intermittent renewable energy. A case study was incorporated to demonstrate CHP's indispensable role in a modern grid configuration.

AbstractSolid oxide fuel cell combined with heat and power (SOFC-CHP) system is a distributed power generation system with low pollution and high efficiency. In this paper, a 10 kW SOFC-CHP system model using syngas was built in Aspen plus. Key operating parameters, such as steam to fuel ratio, stack temperature, reformer temperature, air flow rate, and air preheating temperature, were analyzed. Optimization was conducted based on the simulation results. Results suggest that higher steam to fuel ratio is beneficial to the electrical efficiency, but it might decrease the gross system efficiency. Higher stack and reformer temperatures contribute to the electrical efficiency, and the optimal operating temperatures of stack and reformer when considering the stack degradation are 750 °C and 700 °C, respectively. The air preheating temperature barely affects the electrical efficiency but affects the thermal efficiency and the gross system efficiency, the recommended value is around 600 °C under the reference condition.

Fortunately traditional reliability theory, where the system and the components are always described simply as functioning or failed, is on the way to being replaced by a theory for multistate systems of multistate components. However, there is a need for several convincing case studies demonstrating the practicability of the generalizations introduced. In this paper an electrical power generation system for two nearby oilrigs will be discussed. The amounts of power that may possibly be supplied to the two oilrigs are considered as system states.

One kind of multi-energy off-grid hybrid power system is designed. The system combines highly efficient solar photovoltaic power generation system, ultra low wind speed electric power facility, pedal-powered electricity generating device with the function of automatic reciprocating type. The signals are selected and controlled by STC12c2052 single chip, then the electric energy is delivered to the storage battery through the DC/DC module. Thus, a system with high efficiency and multi-energies complementary is obtained. It can be conclude that this system, cost-effective and environmentally friendly, has great potential in saving energy and environmental protection.
