Modeling, Application and Economic Feasibility Analysis of SOFC Combined Heat and Power System for Apartment in Wuhan Area

Abstract: Solid fuel cells combined heat and power is one of the most promising technologies for reducing energy consumption in stationary area (commercial building and residential environmental). This paper is aim to studies the model, applications and economic feasibility of an model of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell micro combined Heat and Power (SOFC mCHP) for single-family apartment in Wuhan area. A model of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell micro combined Heat and Power (SOFC mCHP) system is presented to estimate the energy required to meet the average of electricity and heating demand of a 120 m of single-family apartment in Wuhan area. Several simulation are conducted in Matlab-Simulink® environment in order to archive the aim of this paper. The model can be modified for any SOFC micro-CHP system. SOFC micro-CHP for stationary area has a higher potential to becoming cost-competitive in the worldwide. Based on the economic feasibility analyzes presented, the results indicated that it is feasible to introduce the SOFC micro-CHP system in Wuhan area from the economic viewpoint. However, fuel cell are still a non-mature technology aiming to reach the market in the coming years. Due to the constant development of fuel cell technology and recent commercial production, the available information about its performance in real applications is currently limited to date, and the cost information is not well established.
