Modeling of molten carbonate fuel cell based on the volume–resistance characteristics and experimental analysis

Artificial neural network model of molten carbonate fuel cells: Validation on experimental data

“…Researchers have published papers on a large number of mathematical models of MCFCs. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] An MCFC model should factor in electrochemistry, heat, mass, and charge transfer processes. The MCFC models found in the literature contain mathematical descriptions of the processes mentioned above.…”

“…Most MCFC models are based on the Nernst equation and include losses of activation, concentration, and ohmic losses or losses on the anode, electrolyte, and cathode. 4,6,8,10,15 There are also molten carbonate fuel cell models based on other assumptions, eg, reduced order model, 12,13 kinetic model, 14 and model using ANNs. [1][2][3] This paper presents a number of mathematical models based on ANNs to predict MCFC performance, though it also draws on knowledge gained from the use of ANNs in modeling a whole range of other devices.…”

“…They are influenced by, among others, the types of materials used, structure of particular cell layers, thickness of these layers, their conductivity, cell temperature, and composition of the inlet gases to the cell. Most MCFC models are based on the Nernst equation and include losses of activation, concentration, and ohmic losses or losses on the anode, electrolyte, and cathode .

Experimental and Modeling Investigation of CO3=/OH– Equilibrium Effects on Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell Performance in Carbon Capture Applications

“…Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFCs) are electrochemical devices developed for electricity generation. For this reason, much of the past MCFC research was focused on new materials for increased cell performance Baizeng et al, 1998;Kim et al, 2006;Özkan et al, 2015), resistance to pollutants and corrosion (Hernandez et al, 2014;Nguyen et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2018), the effects of operating conditions (Di Giulio et al, 2013;Rexed et al, 2014;Devianto et al, 2016), and the development of electrochemical models to aid theoretical studies and the design of cells, stacks and plants (Audasso et al, 2016;Liu and Weng, 2010;Ma et al, 2009;Meléndez-Ceballos et al, 2015;Szczęśniak et al, 2020;Lee et al, 2010). More recently, a new application of MCFCs for the conversion of industrial waste to produce electricity as thermoelectrochemical has also been developed (Kandhasamy et al, 2020;Kandhasamy et al, 2017).…”
