Tests and optimization of low–power power plant based on solid–oxide fuel cells

Аннотация

The paper presents the results of experimental development of the fuel processor of natural gas steam–air conversion and power plants with different design layouts based on solid–polymer and solid–oxide fuel cells. The preferability of using solid–oxide fuel cells in stationary power plants with natural gas as fuel is confirmed. The test results confirm the working efficiency and safety of the chosen solutions. Directions for the future activity in the field of design and development of low–power power plants based on solid–oxide fuel cells are formulated.
