Abstract
Future pressurized Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Gas Turbine Hybrid Systems (HS) promise high efficiency at both full- and part-load on account of the upper and lower SOFC temperature limit and the compressor surge line [1]. The compressor surge constraint is also evident in transient HS operation, caused by the slow transients of SOFC temperature imposed by large SOFC plenum, and fast turbo-machinery transients. This paper presents steady-state and unsteady-state HS modeling and calculation results with regard to surge. The transient compressor and SOFC models have been validated against literature. Calculation results of the coupled SOFC-GT-HS reveal a small operational window in case of unmatched turbine and the critical transient characteristics for HS shut-down.
