Abstract
In this paper, a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell plant is simulated in a cycle for power generation. The simulation is performed by means of a model developed by the authors and then integrated in the Aspen+ flow sheet. The introduction of a gas turbine is evaluated to increase efficiency and net power output. Various feasible plant configurations are considered with and without heat regeneration and a direct comparison among them has been performed. Finally, a cycle has been selected for further system optimisation. The results show that the developed model can be an effective tool for plant performance analysis and that the proposed cycle can be conveniently used as an ultra highly efficient source of power generation.
