“…For instance, Mehr et al [ 24 ] structured the unit price of MCFC into three stages, as to long‐, near‐, and current‐term situations, corresponding to 2000, 4000, and 6000 € kW −1 . Coulibaly et al [ 25 ] considered the cost of MCFC as 3000 $ kW −1 to perform the economic analysis of their proposed energy system. This uncertainty in the cost of MCFC can be attributed to their production volume; as such, a rise in the production volume could drop the per unit price of MCFC.…”

A detailed technoeconomic analysis of a standalone steam cycle integrated with molten carbonate fuel cell and an organic Rankine cycle is presented herein. The modeling and thermodynamic analysis of the proposed plant is performed using a commercially available software tool called Cycle Tempo. The response surface methodology tool is employed to develop regression models to predict the plant's energy, exergy efficiencies, and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for varying independent factors: fuel utilization factor (uf) CO2 utilization factor (ϕ), and current density (i) of the fuel cell. The response surfaces developed from the models are used to conduct the parametric analyses on the plant. The desirability test performed for multiobjective optimization has shown the optimum plant configuration, with higher energy, exergy efficiencies, and a lower LCOE is obtained for uf = 0.85, ϕ = 60%, and i = 1000 A m−2 With an intent to reduce CO2 emissions, monoethanolamine‐based carbon capture system is implemented to the plant configuration, that exhibits maximum energy efficiency for ϕ = 90%, and results in an LCOE of 6.53 Rs kWh−1.

Hydrogen-based multi-microgrid systems (HBMMSs) are beneficial for energy saving and emission reductions. However, the optimal sizing of HBMMSs lacks a practical configuration optimization model and a reasonable solution method. To address these problems, we designed a novel structure of HBMMSs that combines conventional energy, renewable energy, and a hydrogen energy subsystem. Then, we established a bi-level multi-objective capacity optimization model while considering electricity market trading and different hydrogen production strategies. The objective of the inner model, which is the minimum annual operation cost, and the three objectives of the outer model, which are the minimum total annual cost (TAC); the annual carbon emission (ACE); and the maximum self-sufficiency rate (SSR), are researched simultaneously. To solve the above optimization model, a two-stage solution method, which considers the conflicts between objectives and the objectivity of objective weights, is proposed. Finally, a case study is performed. The results show that when green hydrogen production strategies are adopted, the three objectives of the best configuration optimization scheme are USD 404.987 million, 1.106 million tons, and 0.486, respectively.
