Abstract
Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) triple combined cycle system, integrated with gas turbine (GT) and steam turbine (ST), is an ultimate fossil fuel electric power generation system with very high efficiency. In 2008, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) operated the 200 kW-class SOFC micro gas turbine (MGT) hybrid system under commission of New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and we could demonstrate 52.1%-LHV net power generation efficiency. Based on the successful achievement, MHI developed a more compact 250 kW-class SOFC-MGT hybrid system for the purpose of utilization of a hybrid system in the NEDO project scheduled from fiscal 2011 to 2012. Furthermore, we have started a development of fundamental technologies of SOFC-GT-ST triple combined cycle system that aims to achieve more than 70% of power generation efficiency. In this paper, latest results on the development of SOFC and the systems are described.
