G0801-1-2 Cycle Analysis of the Distributed Energy Supply System of Micro Gas Turbine and Fuel Cell Hybrid Power System

Abstract

A micro gas turbine (μGT) and a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) hybrid cycle power generation is considered as one of the distributed energy supply sources. Additionally, Dimethyl ether (DME), which is attracting fuel as a clean and economical alternative fuel, has the advantage of the fuel portability and easy application. In this investigation, a thermal performance analysis of the μGT SOFC system fueled by DME was performed. Dependence of the major parameters on the total heat efficiency was obtained. Higher efficiency was obtained when the system was used for the micro grid and the emergency power supply.
