A Novel Design of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell-Based Combined Cooling, Heat and Power Residential System in the U.K.

This article details with the use of objective sizing techniques for a novel design residential solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) combined cooling, heating, and electrical power system U.K. market. The aim research is to determine key parameters relating supply demand, namely number cells in SOFC, effectiveness heat exchangers, coefficient performance absorption chillers. These are determined taking into account aspects efficiency, economic, environmental impacts through entropy-weighting approach gray relationship analysis. combination these two approaches will help designers maximize efficiency energy utilization minimize emissions costs being examined. It envisaged that demand would be met by (FC) stacks, while most efficient made generated FC waste recovery satisfy domestic hot water, freezers, space cooling. conventional electric freezers innovatively designed fulfilled exchangers chillers further increase use. Due characteristics sector, proposed structure, values, operation control strategies-supported MATLAB/Simulink software-are suited demands single household.
