Exergoeconomic analysis and determination of power cost in MCFC – steam turbine combined cycle

A feasibility assessment of a retrofit Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell coal-fired plant for flue gas CO2 segregation

“…A further detailed exergetic [39,40] and economic [41,42] analysis has to be carried out to provide additional information of the potential of this method of carbon capture and to complete the assessment of this technology for future implementation. Nevertheless, this work preliminary demonstrates the technical feasibility of MCFC application as a clean power generation system with exciting potential within the field of carbon capture in plants involving coal-fired units.…”

Practical Assessment for At-Scale Electrochemical Conversion of Methane to Methanol

“…The conditions for these Detailed Cases are summarized in Table . RA is featured more because it has been the most widely discussed in literature, − ,− making it likely to be the preferred industrial pathway. The detailed breakdown shows four major elements: FCOP, ACCR, Electrical, and Byproduct (the latter two comprise the VCOP).…”

“…This has led scientists and engineers to propose alternative pathways. Some continue to be based on thermochemical cycles, but biocatalytic − and electrocatalytic ,,− routes have also emerged. Electrocatalytic pathways have been particularly attractive in the literature as they boast direct integration with low-cost renewable electricity ,, as well as modular reactor and plant design.…”

An experimental study of the effects of key operating parameters on the molten carbonate fuel cell performance

“…Compared with similar studies, the new system not only produced more work but also reduced CO 2 emissions. Fellipe et al 9 proposed a new MCFC-steam turbine power generation system and analyzed this new system using the exergoeconomic theory of the assembly house. The results showed that the new system efficiency was 8.3% greater than the MCFC system efficiency and the cost of electricity generation was reduced to 0.352 $ per kWh.…”
