Direct Carbonate Fuel Cell - Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Power Plant

摘要

The integration of Direct Carbonate Fuel Cell (internally reformed carbonate fuel cell) with a gas turbine is an emerging technology.The impetus for the integration is achieving ultra high efficiencies especially in large-scale power markets where the traditional combined cycles are approaching the sixty percent efficiency mark.FuelCell Energy Inc.(FCE) has been a pioneer in development of Direct FuelCell/Turbine~R (DFC/T~R) systems.The DFC/T cycle incorporates innovative design concepts for generation of clean electric power with very high efficiencies.One of the key features of the DFC/T combined cycle is the independency of the gas turbine pressure and the fuel cell pressure,which overcomes many of the operational issues during system transients.
