摘要
The energy sector is actively transitioning towards climate-neutral solutions, emphasizing advancements in clean power generation technologies. Cogeneration systems based on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) currently exhibit higher electrical efficiencies than conventional plants, but their operation can still be improved. One of the approaches to increase its efficiency is implementing anodic off-gas recirculation. In this work, a numerical model of a 10 kW SOFC installation with anodic gas recirculation was analyzed using Aspen HYSYS software. System fueled with three alternative fuels (natural gas, hydrogen, and ammonia) was tested. In this paper it was proven that anode-off gas recirculation improves the electrical and total efficiency of the system for each fuel type. The cogeneration unit with a SOFC stack can operate safely over a wide range of recirculation ratios without need for additional modifications. Ammonia-fueled units achieve electrical efficiency (55%) higher than hydrogen-based system (47.6%) but lower than installation fueled with natural gas (61.8%).
