✦ Synopsis

A molten carbonate fuel cell system (MCFCS) often has high level integration of various components. A simulation tool is highly desirable for the investigation of such a complex system operating in load-following modes; thus, the theoretical modelling of a complete MCFCS has been presented in this paper. Moreover, the approach is based on the modularity concept and the techniques dealing with the bilateral coupling of various component modules are emphasized. The usefulness of the MCFCS model developed is demonstrated by applying it to simulate a practical 1 MW MCFCS. The energy balances have been illustrated at system level, and the calculated results show reasonable agreement with the design data.
