Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
As integrated fossil fuel power plant and a method of operating the power plant is provided. The integrated fossil fuel power plant includes a gas turbine arrangement and a carbonate fuel cell having an anode side and a cathode side. The operating method for the integrated fossil fuel power plant includes partially expanding combustion gases in the gas turbine arrangement so that the temperature of the partially expanded combustion gases is optimized for reaction in the cathode side of the carbonate fuel cell, and feeding the partially expanded combustion gases at the optimized temperature to the cathode side of the carbonate fuel cell for reaction in the cathode side of the carbonate fuel cell.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A fossil fuel power plant comprising: a gas turbine arrangement comprising a gas turbine with a combustion section, a compressor section and a turbine section, configured to partially expand combustion gases to a predetermined pressure and temperature above ambient, coupled to a molten carbonate fuel cell arrangement for gas turbine arrangement combustion gases exhaust into a cathode side of the molten carbonate fuel cell arrangement at the predetermined pressure and temperature above ambient; and the molten carbonate fuel cell arrangement comprising an anode, an electrolyte, and a cathode in the cathode side configured for reaction of the partially expanded, exhausted combustion gases at the predetermined pressure and temperature above ambient. 2. A fossil fuel power plant according to claim 1 , wherein the reaction in the cathode side is an electrochemical reaction, which proceeds when an anode side of the molten carbonate fuel cell arrangement is coupled to a source of fuel gas.
