... in size from 1.5 MWe to 10 MWe . The fuel cell model used in this research work is based on a tubular Siemens-Westinghouse-type SOFC, which is integrated with a gas turbine and a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) integrated in turn with a steam turbine cycle. The current work considers the possible...

...% the electricity production. Pinch analysis is then applied in order to analyze the theoretical improvements and to rearrange the location of the heat recovery devices, without modifying the temperature conditions of the main processes. The optimal structure, according to a thermodynamic criterion, is obtained...

.... The use of heat recovery and isolation is a necessary measure to minimize the entropy flow to the environment and can be described by a reversible reference process as well. The application of reversible reference process chains shows that hybrid systems with fuel cells are a technical feasibility...
