The molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) has evolved to current megawatt-scale commercial power plants. When using the fuel cell for electrolysis (MCEC), it provides a promising option for producing fuel gases such as hydrogen, via water electrolysis, and syngas, via co-electrolysis of water and carbon dioxide. The molten carbonate cell can thereby operate reversibly as a dual energy converter for...

The present paper, deal with energy modeling and optimization of developed mathematical of high temperature fuel cell, e.g. Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC). In the present w o r k d e v e l o p e d mathematical model of molten carbonate fuel [1]. Codes for the MCFC single cell stack model have been generated using the MATLAB software. Using the developed Mathematical model, various parameters...

Fuel cells will become more attractive to mainstream electricity users as they improve in capability and decrease in cost. Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) stack dynamic model was developed to analyze a spectrum of dynamic responses, and a simplified process flow diagram of a fuel cell power plant is presented. The neural network (NN) computing architectures suggest that they may be good candi...

The idea of a fuel cell was first discovered in 1839 by Christian Friedrich Schönbein [64] and William Grove [27]. Independently from each other they provided the foundation for the development of many different kinds of fuel cells. Today’s fuel cells are mostly classified by the type of electrolyte used in the cells. The most common types are polymer electrolyte fuel cells PEFC (developed by W...
