Modeling of integrated biomass gassification and fuel cell systems

随着社会对气候变化、化石燃料枯竭和全球经济问题等全球问题的关注增加，学术界和工业界对高效、经济和环境友好地利用资源的关注也增加了。在这方面，集成固体氧化物燃料电池和生物质气化系统是未来最有前途的能源技术之一。与蒸汽轮机和内燃机等传统的生物质利用技术相比，使用该系统来利用生物质可以产生更好的性能并减少对环境的影响。然而，为了最大限度地发挥该系统的效益，应该对该系统的配置和运行参数进行优化。这可以通过建模来实现。这对此类系统的设计者和运营者至关重要，因为目前还没有大规模的设计或运行数据。

As societal concerns on global issues such as climate change, depletion of fossil fuels, and global economical problems have increased; the academic and industrial focus on the usage of resources in an efficient, economic, and environmentally friendly way has also increased. In this regard, integrated Solid Oxide Fuel Cells and biomass gasification systems are one of the most promising energy technologies of the future. Usage of this system to utilize biomass yields better performance and reduces environmental impact compared to the conventional biomass utilization technologies, e.g. steam turbine and internal combustion engine. However, to get the most benefit from this system, the configurations and operating parameters of this system should be optimized. This can be done through modeling. This is crucial for designers and operators of such systems, there is no large scale design or operation data currently available.
