Reliability of SOFC stacks is a complex and key issue. This paper presents a simulation study including some degradation processes, namely nterconnect degradation and the anode reoxidation potential. Quantification for these phenomena has been included in a repeat element model to imulate stack degradation and study the influence of design and operating parameters on the degradation. Interconne...

In this paper induction heating system is modeled and effective factors on induction heater system losses are represented. Respective to the intensive importance of capacitor losses and its potential ability of being harmful, furnace parameters must be designed in a way to minimize capacitor losses and maximize the transmitted power into the load. The effective parameters are the number of turn...

The electric arc furnace (EAF) has the potential to significantly contribute decarbonization of iron and steel industry. However, during EAF steelmaking, carbon still needs be injected into molten slag initiate foaming, which is beneficial energy efficiency protection furnace. To move away from fossil carbon, biocarbon gained attention as an injection agent. In this study, two biochar candidate...

Due to the rapid growth of non-linear loads, such as power electronic control equipments and Electric arc furnace (EAF) power quality problems such as harmonics and voltage flicker are introduced in the power system. It occurs because of the time-varying and nonlinear behaviour of the Load. Arc furnaces are used in industries for induction heating and welding. Hence an Electric arc furnace mode...
