Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a design method for a SOFC combined heat and power supply system with a one-key start-stop control strategy. Background Art

[0002] Since the direct use of hydrogen energy in an internal combustion engine is restricted by the Carnot cycle, resulting in relatively low efficiency. A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), as a device that directly converts the chemical energy contained in hydrogen energy into electrical energy, is more controllable and utilized more fully compared to direct combustion. Therefore, the energy conversion efficiency is also higher, generally reaching more than 80%, and it is used in the form of electrical energy and heat energy.

[0003] Due to problems such as fuel residue and a large amount of heat generation during the operation of a single SOFC stack, the operation of SOFC often appears in the form of a combined heat and power supply system. However, the entire system has complex operations during startup and shutdown. Once an operation error occurs, it will lead to a decline in the performance of the SOFC stack or even direct damage, causing huge economic losses. Moreover, due to the long startup and shutdown times of the SOFC system, it is difficult for operators to ensure the timeliness of operations. Therefore, based on the above two problems, there is an urgent need for a design method for a SOFC combined heat and power supply system with a one-key start-stop control strategy to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of startup and shutdown operations when the system starts and stops.
