This paper reviews the current development status of molten carbonate fuel cell(MCFC) power generation system
mainly for cogeneration systems
hybrid power systems
and MCFC systems for CO_2 capture
and discussed the characteristics of different systems' layout
application status and future prospects. For the MCFC cogeneration system
the power generation efficiency is from 47% to 60%
while the overall electricity generation efficiency is from 80% to 90%. For the MCFC hybrid power generation system
the power generation efficiency is higher than 55%
and the bottoming cycle power generation system which is composed of the MCFC and micro-gas turbine is the mainstream of current development. The CO_2 capture rate of the MCFC power plant system is up to 77%.
