文摘
- •
A new hybrid system includes a molten carbonate fuel cell and a thermionic generator.
- •
Losses in reforming, electrochemical, and heat transfer processes are considered.
- •
Performances of the hybrid system and the single MCFC are compared.
- •
Optimal regions of some key parameters including two loads are determined.
- •
Advantages of the present system over other MCFC-based hybrid systems are shown.
