摘要
A model of a high temperature electrolyser-fuel cell, hydrogen-oxygen, thermally regenerative power cycle is developed and used to simulate system performance for varying system parameters. This power cycle uses a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, operating at low temperature, for electrical energy production, and uses a high temperature electrolyser for regeneration of the hydrogen and oxygen. Estimates of system efficiency, weight, and volume are provided for a one kWe module assuming specific electrolyser and fuel cell characteristics, and examining both current and assumed future characteristics. Specific interest is placed on examining the system responses to changes in device voltage vs current density operating curves, and the associated optimum operating ranges. The 'Current Technology' module is based on the 1300 K solid oxide electrolyser cell and the alkaline fuel cell. The 'Future Technology' system examines benefits involved with developing a 1800 K electrolyser operating with an advanced fuel cell. © 1990.
