Residential cogeneration using fuel cells.

Author(s) : TACCANI R.

Summary

Combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration is an ideal application for the fuel cell. In this paper the working principle and the different types of fuel cells are briefly presented. The typical layout of a fuel cell cogeneration system is described. Some of the commercially available systems are considered and the advantages of fuel cells are discussed. In particular an integrated plant with solid-oxide fuel cells and a gas turbine is analysed. Some preliminary results obtained using a simulation program show that an electric efficiency of approximately 65% can be obtained, while the First Law efficiency is over 80%.
