Design of Dynamic MCFC Simulation Bed for MBOP Feasibility Test of Marine Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) is achieving relatively high output and efficiency and reaching the level of commercialization compared to other fuel cells. Recently many studies are dealt with mobile applications of MCFC to use those superlative properties. But until now, researches are dealt with steady state energy analysis and life cycle assessment analysis. The practical dynamic feasibility analysis has not been done. Here we report, dynamic MCFC model and simultaneous mechanical balance of plant (MBOP) test algorithm can be used for evaluating feasibility of MCFC marine application. We modeled four 300 kW class MCFC stacks with a dynamic form in MATLAB/ SIMULINK package. Developed simulation bed can be used to deal with overall MCFC performance evaluation and various MBOP feasibility test.
