Abstract: During the last years, two new subjects among the others have raised interest in the field of small scale electric power generation: advanced microturbines and solid oxide fuel cells. This ...

Abstract: This work discusses the thermodynamic analysis of integrated gasification fuel cell plants, where a simple cycle gas turbine works in a hybrid cycle with a pressurized intermediate temperature–solid ...

Abstract: This work presents a computational thermofluid-dynamic analysis of circular-planar type intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), based on the Hexis design. A single cell, representative ...

Abstract: The paper considers the use of gas fired micro turbine generators (MTG) for trigeneration (combined production of electricity, heating, and cooling) applications in tertiary buildings. The importance ...

Abstract: The application of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) in gasification-based power plants would represent a turning point in the power generation sector, allowing to considerably increase the electric ...

Abstract: In recent years, civil aircraft projects are showing a continuous increase in the demand of onboard electrical power, both for the partial substitution of hydraulic or pneumatic controls and ...

Abstract: Integrated gasification combined cycles (IGCCs) are considered the reference technology for high efficiency and low emission power generation from coal. In recent years, several theoretical and ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the gas turbine performance enhancement approach that has gained a lot of momentum in recent years in which modified Brayton cycles are used with humidification or water/steam ...
