The article presents an overview of experimental layout design solutions and the general operation scheme combined heat power systems with a high-temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). This system is environmentally friendly energy-saving way to produce electricity heat. use SOFCs makes it possible obtain electrical efficiency 45–55%. Combining electrochemical mechanical can increase total b...

Utilizing the combined cooling, heating and power generation (CHP) systems to produce cooling, heat and electricity is growing rapidly due to their high efficiency and low emissions in commercial and industrial applications. In conventional CHP systems the deficit of the system power can be purchased from the grid. However, this system cannot be used as the standalone application. The hybrid so...

The thermal balance analysis is a useful method to determine energy distribution and efficiency of internal combustion (IC) engines. In engines cooling concepts, estimation of heat transfer to brake power ratio, as one of the most significant performance characteristics, is highly demanded. In this paper, investigation of energy balance and derivation of specific heat rejection is carried out e...

This paper presents a hierarchical control strategy for heat and electric power control of a building integrating hybrid renewable power sources including photovoltaic, fuel cell and battery energy storage with Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEV) in smart distribution systems. Because of the controllability of fuel cell power, this power sources plays the main role for providing heat and electric p...
