Design and Operation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Multidisciplinary Industrial Applications

Design and Operation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Multidisciplinary Industrial Applications presents a comprehensive, critical and accessible review of the latest research in the field of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). As well as discussing the theoretical aspects of the field, the book explores a diverse range of power applications, such as hybrid power plants, polygeneration, distributed electricity generation, energy storage and waste management-all with a focus on modeling and computational skills. Dr. Sharifzadeh presents the associated risks and limitations throughout the discussion, providing a very complete and thorough analysis of SOFCs and their control and operation in power plants. The first of its kind, this book will be of particular interest to energy engineers, industry experts and academic researchers in the energy, power and transportation industries, as well as those working and researching in the chemical, environmental and material sectors. Closes the gap between various power engineering disciples by considering a diverse variety of applications and sectorsPresents and reviews a variety of modeling techniques and considers regulations throughoutIncludes CFD modeling examples and process simulation and optimization programming guidance INDICE: Part one: Theory and concept 1.
