Microturbine-Based Test Rig for Emulation of SOFC Hybrid Systems
Abstract
This work is devoted to an emulator test rig based on a T100 microturbine (100 kW electric power) and designed for SOFC hybrid systems. Since this facility does not include a real fuel cell, it is mainly used for tests on the SOFC/T100 integration to analyse possible stress and risky operations (e.g. surge) especially in dynamic conditions. The tests performed with this rig range from component analysis, to experimental studies at dynamic conditions and surge risk analysis.
