“…Hybrid systems that combine an SOFC and a GT (SOFC/GT system) have been extensively studied as an example of an SOFC-based integrated energy system (Tanaka et al, 2000;Ippommatsu et al, 1996;Itoh et al, 1994;Khandkar et al, 2000;Kimijima and Kasagi, 2002;Uechi et al, 2002;Hart et al, 1999;George and Bessette, 1998;Gamou et al, 2000). Other SOFC-based integrated systems that have been studied include a hybrid system of SOFC and polymer electrolyte fuel cell (Dicks et al, 2000) and the integration of coal gasification with SOFC (Kivisaari et al, 2004).…”

“…Most of these integrated systems are studied using simulation approaches. Among these studies are the evaluations of manufacturing cost (Tanaka et al, 2000;Ippommatsu et al, 1996;Itoh et al, 1994;Khandkar et al, 2000;Kimijima and Kasagi, 2002;Uechi et al, 2002), environmental impacts through manufacturing (Hart et al, 1999;George and Bessette, 1998), thermodynamic analysis of specific system configurations (Tanaka et al, 2000;Khandkar et al, 2000;Haynes and Wepfer, 2000;Campanari, 2001;Costamagna et al, 2001;Palsson et al, 2000), and comparison analysis of system configurations based on thermodynamics (Winkler, 1997;Monanteras and Frangopoulos, 1999). However, while dynamic evaluation using detailed technology models is important to evaluate the economic Figure 1.…”

SUMMARYA simulation framework for flexible evaluation of various distributed building energy systems based on the integration of component device simulation models is presented. Device technology models were constructed for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), a gas turbine, a double pipe heat exchanger, and a compressor. A scheme is proposed for defining model interfaces in order to improve the flexibility and accessibility of the models. Based on that scheme, interfaces are defined for each device model. The component device models are integrated to construct system models of (1) a hybrid system combining an SOFC and a gas turbine (SOFC/GT system) and (2) a stand-alone SOFC system. The integrated model of the SOFC/GT system is then used to carry out a multi-objective optimization in order to study the tradeoffs between cost and CO 2 emissions of the SOFC system operation for a given electricity demand. Through these analyses, the optimal configuration of the SOFC/GT system and the optimal operation conditions of the SOFC system for the given electricity demand were explored.

“…Considerable research has been carried out in order to clarify and analyse the properties of SOFC systems. Most of these studies evaluate the SOFC system in terms of manufacturing cost (George and Bessette, 1998;Ippommatsu et al, 1996;Itoh et al, 1994;Khandkar et al, 2000;Tanaka et al, 2000), environmental impacts through manufacturing (Hart et al, 1999), thermodynamic analysis (Khandkar et al, 2000;Tanaka et al, 2000;Costamagna et al, 2001;Haynes and Wepfer, 2000;Campanari, 2001), or system configurations based on thermodynamic analysis (Winkler, 1999;Monanteras and Frangopoulos, 1999). A few studies have evaluated the effects of introducing SOFC systems into the society (Hart and Hormandinger, 1998;Riensche et al, 1998;Yamada and Tanaka, 1997).…”

SUMMARYNew power generation technologies are expected to reduce various environmental impacts of providing electricity to urban regions for some investment cost. Determining which power generation technologies are most suitable for meeting the demand of a particular region requires analysis of tradeoffs between costs and environmental impacts. Models simulating different power generation technologies can help quantify these tradeoffs. An Internet-based modelling infrastructure called DOME (distributed object-based modelling environment) provides a flexible mechanism to create integrated models from independent simulation models for different power generation technologies. As new technologies appear, corresponding simulation models can readily be added to the integrated model. DOME was used to combine a simulation model for hybrid SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) and gas turbine system with a power generation capacity and dispatch optimization model. The integrated models were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the system as a centralized power source for meeting the power demand in Japan. Evaluation results indicate that a hybrid system using micro-tube SOFC may reduce CO 2 emissions from power generation in Japan by about 50%.
