Abstract: A newly developed integrated gasification fuel cell (IGFC) hybrid system concept has been tested using the Hybrid Performance (Hyper) project hardware-based simulation facility at the U.S. Department ...

Abstract: Microturbines have a less complex mechanical design than large-size gas turbines that should make it possible to fit them with a more straightforward control system. However, these systems have ...

Abstract: This paper presents the steady state and transient model of a natural gas fuel processing system of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) hybrid system, and its validation using data obtained through ...

Abstract: Real-time (RT) modeling is a recognized approach to monitor advanced systems and to improve control capabilities. Applications of RT models are commonly used in the automotive and aerospace ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes and compares transient and steady-state performance characteristics of different types of single-shaft turbo-machinery for controlling the air through a pressurized solid oxide ...

Abstract: This paper describes the experimental validation of two different transient models of the hybrid fuel cell/gas turbine facility of the U.S. DOE-NETL at Morgantown. The first part of this work ...

Abstract: Trends towards distributed power generation and the deregulation of energy markets are increasing the requirement for software tools that optimize power generation plant design and operation. In ...
