یک چرخه قدرت طبیعی یکپارچه با استفاده از سلول های سوخت هیدروژن و کربن

An integrated power cycle comprising natural gas decarbonization in conjunction with a hydrogen fuel cell and a carbon fuel cell is proposed, termed a natural gas decarbonization dual fuel cell system (NGDDFC). In this process hydrogen and solid carbon produced in a natural gas decarbonization step are fed to hydrogen and carbon fuel cells, respectively. A pure carbon dioxide stream is produced from the carbon fuel cell, suitable for sequestration. Process modeling of this cycle carried out using UniSim R430, for the non-CO2 capture case, showed a cycle power efficiency of about 61%, which is 15 percentage points higher than the current natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) case. With 82% CO2 capture, the NGDDFC had a net efficiency about 20 percentage points higher than the published NGCC option, albeit with a slightly lower capture percentage (82% vs. 90%).
