Abstract
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) can be composed by solid components, and high power generation efficiency of a whole cycle is obtained by using high temperature exhaust heat for fuel reforming and bottoming power generation. Recently, the low temperature SOFC, which runs in the temperature range of around 600°C or above, has been developed with the high efficiency of power generation. On the other hand, multi-stage power generation system has been proposed by the United States DOE. In this study, a power generation system of two-stage SOFC by series connection of low and high temperature SOFCs has been studied. Overpotential data for low-temperature SOFC used in this study are based on recent published data, and those for high temperature SOFC arhaihe based on our previous study. The analytical results show the two-stage SOFC power generation efficiency of 50.3% and the total power generation efficiency of 56.1% under a standard operating condition.
