Application Of Fuel Cells In Gas Turbine Power Plants

Exhaust heat from high temperature fuel cells is used to reform the fuel to a gas turbine. The unconverted energy from a fuel cell is introduced into the gas turbine thereby increasing the overall plant efficiency and the specific power output of the gas turbine.

Benefits

1) Increased overall plant thermal efficiency 2) Reduced NOx emissions Increased output from gas turbine 3) Reduced operating costs
