A unique feature of the proposed system will allow the fuel cell and turbine modules to operate at independent pressures. The fuel cell will be operated at ambient pressure. This can increase the fuel cell stack life and save on piping and vessel costs. The turbine can then operate at its optimum pressure ratio. Countries around the world are developing interest in the high-efficiency hybrid cycles. A 320 kW hybrid (SOFC and gas turbine) plant will enter service in Germany, operated by a consortium under the leadership of RWE Energie AG. This will be followed by the first 1 MW plant, which will be operated by Energie Baden-Wurttemberg AG (EnBW), Electricite de France (EDF), Gaz de France, and Austria’s TIWAG (29). Another project under development at the NETL is an advanced power plant system that combines a multistaged fuel cell with an extremely efficient turbine. Preliminary estimates show efficiencies greater than 80 percent (LHV). Studies showed that natural gas to electricity LHV efficiencies could break through an 80 percent barrier, while remaining cost competitive for a 4- MW solid oxide plant (tubular or planar). The Advanced Fuel Cell concept directly coincides with the long-term goals of the Fuel Cell Program. These include system costs of $400/kW and efficiencies of 70 to 80 percent or more (LHV to AC electricity), with fuel flexibility and a stack- life of 40,000 hours. They are intended for commercial application in 2015, maintaining ultra- low emissions. 8.6.3 World’sFirstHybridProject Siemens-Westinghouse Power Corporation of Pittsburgh, PA developed and fabricated the first advanced power plant to combine a solid oxide fuel cell and a gas turbine. The microturbine generator was manufactured by Northern Research and Engineering Corporation of Woburn, Mass. The factory acceptance test was completed in April 2000. Southern California Edison is operating the new hybrid plant at The National Fuel Cell Research Center at the University of California-Irvine. A year of testing in a commercial setting will be performed at this site. The system cycle is expected to generate electric power at 55 percent efficiency. The pressurized system will generate 220 kilowatts of power and be operated at 3 atm of pressure. The fuel cell is made up of 1152 individual tubular ceramic cells and generates about 200 kilowatts of electricity. The microturbine generator will produce an additional 20 kilowatts of electricity at full power. No sulfur dioxide pollutants will be released into the air. Nitrogen oxide emissions are likely to be less than 1 ppm. A 320-kilowatt hybrid system is also in the planning stages. An initial commercial offering of a one MW fuel cell-microturbine power plant in late 2002 will be the end results of this Department of Energy/Siemens Westinghouse partnership program (31). 8.6.4 HybridElectricVehicles(HEV) Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) typically combine the conventional internal combustion engine of the automobile with an energy storage device, such as a battery. However, there are many different arrangements for the HEV. The key components to an HEV are the energy storage system (batteries, ultracapacitors, and flywheels), the power unit (spark ignition engines, 8-93PDF Image | Fuel Cell Handbook (Seventh Edition)
