In an effort to make higher efficiency power systems, several joint fuel cell / combustion-based cycles have been proposed and modeled. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has recently built such a system with a solid-oxide fuel cell gas turbine plant, and is now working on a variant that includes a bottoming steam cycle. They report their double and triple cycles have LHV efficiencies greater than 52% and 70%, respectively. In order to provide insight into the thermodynamics behind such efficiencies, this study attempts to reverse engineer the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries system from publicly available data. The information learned provides the starting point for a computer model of the triple cycle. An exergy analysis is used to compare the triple cycle to its constituent sub-cycles, in particular the natural gas combined cycle. This analysis provides insights into the benefits of integrating the fuel cell and gas turbine architectures in a manner that improves the overall system performance to previously unseen efficiencies.

The integration of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and combustion turbine technologies can result in combined-cycle power plants, fueled with natural gas. that have high efficiencies and clean gaseous emissions. Results of a study are presented in which conceptual designs were developed for three power plants based upon such an integration, and ranging in rating from 3 to 10 MW net ac. The plant cycles are described, and characteristics of key components are summarized. In addition, plant design-point efficiency estimates are presented, as well as values of other plant performance parameters.
