Hybrid solid oxide fuel cells–gas turbine systems for combined heat and power: A review

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the possible layout configurations of hybrid power plants based on the integration of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and gas turbine (GT) technologies. SOFC/GT power plants have been investigated by using a plurality of approaches, such as: numerical simulations, experimental analyses, and thermo-economic optimizations. The majority of SOFC/GT hybrid systems are fed by methane, which is much cheaper...
