Abstract
This paper refers to the performance prediction of the hybrid power generation system, which is made up of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and a gas turbine (GT), driven with coal gasification fuels (CGFs). The typical fuel compositions of oxygen-blown type gasification plants were adopted in the present investigation. In the case of CGFs, the power generation effectively, because the methane concentrations are very small in CGFs. Without the heat absorption by steam reforming, a larger air flow rate is required to keep the cell temperature constant. Hence, the GT power output is larger in the case of CGFs.
