Abstract:
A method of operating an atmospheric-pressure solid oxide fuel cell generator () in combination with a gas turbine comprising a compressor () and expander () where an inlet oxidant () is passed through the compressor () and exits as a first stream () and a second stream () the first stream passing through a flow control valve () to control flow and then through a heat exchanger () followed by mixing with the second stream () where the mixed streams are passed through a combustor () and expander () and the first heat exchanger for temperature control before entry into the solid oxide fuel cell generator (), which generator () is also supplied with fuel ().
