Abstract:
In this thesis, a novel combined cycle based on Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, Turbo-Shaft, and Stirling Engine is designed, analyzed, and optimized. In the designing of this combined cycle, the exhaust gases of the SOFC which its temperature is about 1000℃-1200℃ is used to preheat the inlet air in combustion chamber of Turbo-Shaft and the exhaust gas of the turbo-Shaft is used to provide the high temperature of the Stirling engine. Also, to cool the cold cylinder of the Stirling engine, a flow of water is used, so hot water can be achieved from the cycle. This proposed combined cycle is analyzed from three points of view including Energy, Economic, and Environment analyses. At first, the Thermo-Economic-Environ model of the proposed combined cycle is simulated and validated, then a parametric study by selecting 7 design parameters is performed. In this study, the quantitative and qualitative changes of the affected parameters, such as electrical efficiency and electrical power, total annual cost, and pollution reduction due to changes in design parameters, is investigated. Design parameters including Air to Fuel ratio at fuel cell input, fuel cell electrical current density, the fuel consumption coefficient of the fuel cell, Fuel to Air ratio in the turboshaft, Compressor Relative Speed in the turboshaft, Compressor pressure ratio in the turboshaft, and the temperature ratio of the Stirling engine. To find an optimal performance of the proposed combined cycle, a two-objective optimization is carried out. The electrical efficiency of the combined cycle and its total annual cost are selected as the objective functions. As a Result of this optimization, the pareto optimal set is obtained and the final optimal point is selected by TOPSIS method. At the optimal point, the electrical efficiency of the cycle and its total annual cost are 68% and 55.7 [〖10〗^6 $/year], respectively. Also, the proposed combined cycle can reduce NOx and CO2 by up to 56.25% and 49.6% respect with uncontrolled gas turbine, respectively.
