Abstract:
An integrated energy system using solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC)/gas turbine(GT) as power generation device and hydrogen-doped natural gas as the fuel was proposed. The mathematical models of various types of energy utilization equipment, such as wind power generation, solar power generation, hydrogen production equipment, SOFC/GT system, energy conversion and storage equipment for electricity, heat, and cooling, carbon capture equipment, etc, were established. The performance and economy of the integrated energy system were studied considering various load balance constraints, equipment operation constraints and aiding in achieving the "dual carbon" targets. Results show that the power generation efficiency of SOFC/GT system increases from 60.36% to 64.79%, and the comprehensive energy utilization rate increases from 87.80% to 90.80% with the increase of fuel hydrogen blending ratio. When the system used renewable energy sources to produce hydrogen, the carbon emissions are the lowest, although carbon trading gains are considered, the high cost of hydrogen production leads to the highest operating costs.
