Modeling and simulation of hybrid SOFC-GT systems for distributed generation

Abstract

This paper focuses on the modelling and simulation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and Gas Turbine (GT) hybrid systems for Distributed Generation. Independent dynamic models of the main components of the systems have been realized and implemented in the Matlab-Simulink© environment. The models have been used to simulate the behaviour of two plant configurations. Control methodologies have been analyzed and numerical results are provided.
