Mathematical Model of MCFC (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell) for Power Plant Simulations

An MCFC model concept is presented. The MCFC model was built in HYSYS.Plant environment is based on its standard libraries. The main elements of the MCFC model and chemical reactions are presented. Selected performance characteristics at the design point of MCFC are presented.A new equation is given to define MCFC voltage, which was obtained based on new assumptions and which can be used instead of the classical approach.Copyright © 2013 by ASME
