Two objective optimization for a new molten carbonate fuel cell based power producing system

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

“…Fei et al 14 proposed an MCFC system based on the external reforming of biogas and evaluated the performance of the new system by thermodynamics, thermoeconomics, and environmental analysis. Mahmoudi et al 15 proposed a combined cycle system with the MCFC as the prime mover and carried out multi-objective optimization for this system to obtain the operating parameters at the highest system efficiency. Hui et al 16 modeled a hybrid system with an integrated MCFC-thermoelectric generator, evaluated the potential of inhomogeneous thermoelectric materials and found that the efficiency of the new system is 6.9% higher than that of the single MCFC.…”

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

“…However, in the last decades the use of MCFCs in CO 2 recovery for sequestration has gained more and more academic and commercial interest Carapellucci et al, 2019;Mahmoudi et al, 2019;Audasso et al, 2018;Campanari et al, 2014;Wee, 2014;Barelli et al, 2016;Rexed et al, 2015;. Compared to conventional amine-based technologies, in addition to the capture of CO 2 from flue gases, MCFCs also allow the simultaneous production of additional electricity, H 2 (if cells are fed with CH 4 ) and heat (Rosen et al, 2020).…”
