“…The goal of this study is to allow a large turndown while maintaining the SOFC stack exit temperature at 1000 • C, using constant fuel utilization of 85%, and without the need for cathode bypasses and/or bleeds. This is accomplished using individual fuel controllers for both the SOFC and the auxiliary burner and incorporating two novel, yet commercially viable components [36]. First, a ceramic turbine is placed on the high-pressure spool, allowing higher turbine inlet temperatures (TIT) (controlled by the auxiliary burner).…”
