Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power generation equipment, in particular to an indirect cascade fuel cell system and power generation equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the world attaching great importance to climate change and carbon dioxide emission reduction, fuel cells, as an efficient and clean energy technology, are gradually becoming a hot topic in research and application. Among them, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) stand out due to their unique advantages. SOFCs operate at high temperatures, typically between 600 and 1000°C, and have strong fuel adaptability and impurity tolerance. They can not only use pure H2 as fuel, but also use synthesis gas / reformed gas (mainly H2, CO, CO2 and H2O) generated in situ from hydrocarbon fuels without strictly removing non-H2 substances. Compared with other types of fuel cells, SOFCs usually operate at higher temperatures and use solid oxides as electrolytes, do not rely on precious metal catalysts, and are more efficient. Therefore, the development of SOFC-based vehicle power or auxiliary power systems is of extremely important strategic significance for promoting energy conservation and emission reduction goals in the transportation sector.
[0003] At present, the application technology of ammonia fuel in SOFC stacks is not yet fully mature, which may lead to insufficient fuel utilization, resulting in a large amount of unreacted fuel remaining in the exhaust gas. At the same time, the high-temperature waste heat of the stack exhaust gas cannot be effectively utilized, thereby reducing the energy utilization efficiency of the entire system.
[0004] The existing solution to these problems involves decomposing ammonia fuel into 75% hydrogen and 25% nitrogen over a nickel- or ruthenium-based porous catalyst, which is then directly fed into the SOFC stack for power generation. Alternatively, anode off-gas recycling (AOGR) is implemented, where the anode off-gas is recirculated back to the ammonia decomposer at a pre-designed ratio, mixed with the fuel, and then fed back into the stack. Another alternative is cathode off-gas recycling (COGR), where the cathode off-gas is recirculated back to the cathode inlet at a pre-designed ratio for reuse. However, while waste heat recovery from the exhaust is often achieved through coupling with a gas turbine or ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle), these solutions often overlook the cooling step required during the cathode off-gas recycling process. This failure to fully tap the waste heat potential of the recycled cathode off-gas leads to inefficient utilization of this waste heat, impacting the energy efficiency and economic viability of the entire system. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an indirect cascade fuel cell system, which adopts a two-stage stack and combines anode exhaust gas recycling (AOGR) with cathode exhaust gas recycling (COGR) to solve the problems of insufficient fuel utilization during system use, resulting in a large amount of fuel in the exhaust gas and unutilized high-temperature waste heat of the anode and cathode exhaust gases of the stack; and provides a coupled ORC system, which utilizes the heat in the cathode circulating exhaust gas and the afterburner exhaust gas to improve the energy utilization efficiency of the system.

[0040] In this embodiment, the ammonia decomposition reactor 4 decomposes the ammonia fuel so that the mixed gas entering the ammonia decomposition reactor 4 for combustion is mainly hydrogen, thereby avoiding the pollution of the environment by the generation of nitrogen oxides.

[0050] In another embodiment, see the attached Figure 2 , also includes an organic Rankine cycle unit, which includes a pump 11, a steam turbine 12, a multi-stream heat exchanger 13, and a water-cooled heat exchanger 33.

Pipelines connect the pump 11, steam turbine 12, multi-stream heat exchanger 13, water-cooled heat exchanger 33, and the fuel cell stack system.
[0051] In another embodiment, a power generation device includes any of the above-mentioned indirect cascade fuel cell systems.
[0052] The working process of the above-mentioned indirect cascade fuel cell system is as follows:
[0053] 1. Ammonia cracking and entering the anodes of the two fuel cell stacks: Ammonia from the ammonia supply device 1 passes through the throttle valve 2 and enters the first heat exchanger 31. After the temperature is raised to 650°C to 750°C, it enters the catalytic cracking channel of the ammonia decomposition reactor 4, decomposing into nitrogen and hydrogen. The two gases then enter the first-stage fuel cell stack 61 and the second-stage fuel cell stack 62 in a ratio of 6:4, participating in the electrochemical reactions within the fuel cell stacks. Specifically, the temperature of the ammonia gas must be raised to 650°C to 750°C upon entering the first heat exchanger 31. The heat supply to the ammonia decomposition reactor 4 in the subsequent process is intended to maintain this temperature range.
[0054] II. Treatment of the two stack anode tail gases: The two stack anode tail gases enter the second three-way valve 52, merge into a single stream, and then flow into the heat exchange channel of the ammonia decomposition reactor 4 to provide heat for catalytic cracking of the ammonia. They then enter the first heat exchanger 31 to provide heat for ammonia preheating. They then enter the fourth three-way valve 54 and enter the anode of the second-stage stack 62 and the afterburner 8 in a ratio of 4:6.
[0055] 3. Air enters the cathodes of the two stacks: Air passes through fan 10, second flow monitoring controller 72, and third three-way valve 53. According to the ratio calculated by flow monitoring controller 72, a portion enters second heat exchanger 32, where it is heated to 650°C to 750°C. It then enters the cathode of first-stage stack 61. The remaining portion enters fifth three-way valve 55, combines with the cathode exhaust of first-stage stack 61, and enters the cathode of second-stage stack 62, participating in the electrochemical reaction in the stack. The generated current is converted from DC to AC via inverter 9.
[0056] 4. Afterburner working process: The cathode tail gas of the second-stage fuel cell stack 62 enters the afterburner 8 and is burned together with the flow from the second outlet of the fourth three-way valve 54, then enters the second heat exchanger 32 to provide heat for heating the air, and is finally discharged into the air.
[0057] V. Operation of Flow Monitoring Controller 7: Monitors the temperature and flow at the cathode outlet of first-stage stack 61 and at the outlet of blower 10, and automatically calculates and controls the air distribution ratio of third three-way valve 53 to the second-stage stack, ensuring that the air temperature entering the cathode of second-stage stack 62 meets the required temperature. Specifically, the flow monitoring controller can simultaneously monitor the temperature and flow at the cathode outlet of first-stage stack 61 and at the outlet of blower 10, enabling real-time data monitoring of the system's operating status. Based on this real-time monitoring data, the air distribution ratio of the three-way valve is automatically calculated and controlled. This closed-loop process of "monitoring → calculation → control" forms a complete feedback mechanism from data acquisition to regulation execution, improving system stability and reliability.
[0058] For example, the first flow monitoring controller 71 monitors the temperature T at the cathode outlet of the first-stage fuel cell stack 61. a and flow rate n aThe second flow monitoring controller 72 monitors the temperature T at the outlet of the fan 10 b and flow rate n b Assume that the ratio of the air distributed by the third three-way valve 53 to the second-stage stack 62 is x, and the inlet temperature of the second-stage stack 62 is known to be T 入口 , then the following formula is satisfied.
[0059]
[0060] Solving for x yields:
[0061]
[0062] This realizes the closed-loop process of "monitoring → calculation → control". It should be noted that, in addition to the above content, other control logic, methods and program control codes involved can refer to the existing technology and will not be elaborated here. VI. ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle Unit) Working Process: See Figure 2 After passing through pump 11, the isobutane increases in pressure. It then flows through multi-stream heat exchanger 13, absorbing heat from the cathode exhaust of the second-stage stack 62 and the exhaust of the afterburner 8, raising its temperature. It then passes through the steam turbine to generate electricity, reducing its pressure. Finally, it passes through the water-cooled heat exchanger 33, where its temperature is lowered, before re-entering pump 11, completing the cycle. In other words, the multi-stream heat exchanger 13 utilizes the waste heat from the cathode outlet of the second-stage stack 6 and the exhaust of the afterburner 8, improving the system's energy efficiency. This can be understood as a fuel cell system coupled with an organic Rankine cycle unit, further utilizing the heat from the cathode and exhaust gases to generate electricity, improving the system's electrical efficiency. Furthermore, the high-temperature waste heat from the combustion exhaust is fully utilized as a heating source for the fuel gas and the organic Rankine cycle working fluid, improving the overall system's thermal efficiency. Therefore, the system design of the present invention offers high fuel efficiency, a high safety factor, environmental friendliness, high electrical and thermal efficiency, and broad market prospects.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features thereof may be replaced by equivalents.
