Alternative energy is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. These alternatives are intended to address concerns about such fossil fuels. Today, because of the variety of energy choices and differing goals of their advocates, defining some energy types as "alternative" is highly controversial. Most of the recent and existing alternative sources of energy are discussed below. K...

Two glass-ceramics sealants for solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFC) in the system BaO/SrO-MgO-B2O3-SiO2 have been analysed according to relevant sealing parameters such as sintering and crystallization of glass powders dilatation viscosity evolution with glass-ceramic compacts. Special emphasis is given kinetics mechanism, crystalline phases formed role whole process. The slower rate strontium-contai...

Rapid load transition is an essential requirement for integrated energy systems to maintain grid resilience as more renewable resources are added the grid. Integrated solid oxide fuel cell – gas turbine (SOFC-GT) can provide high efficiency and low carbon emissions over a broad range of turndown. These hybrids also have potential enable rapid response. The challenge has been demonstrate effecti...

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack technology offers a reliable, efficient, and clean method of sustainable heat electricity co-generation that can be integrated into micro-combined power (µ-CHP) units for use in residential small commercial environments. Recent years have seen the successful market introduction several SOFC-based systems, however, manufacturers still face some challenges impro...
