An analysis procedure for the MCFC channel flow has been developed to predict the fuel cell performance. As for the electrochemical reaction, among several chemical reaction models, one that fits the data best is adopted after a comprehensive comparative study. The Wavier-Stokes, energy, and species equations are solved to obtain the velocity, temperature and concentration fields for a specified average current density. The procedure is iterative as the local current density, or the reaction rate, is allowed to vary with the gas composition. A series of calculations are then carried out to examine the effects of gas flow rate, gas composition, gas usage rate, inlet gas temperature, and average current density on the fuel cell performance. The fuel cell characteristics, such as the temperature, current density distributions, and the concentration fields, for various operating conditions are presented and discussed.

Design performances of various configurations of hybrid systems combining an atmospheric pressure molten carbonate fuel cell and a gas turbine have been analyzed. Two different fuel reforming methods (internal and external reforming) were considered. Influences of turbine inflow heating method, location of fuel combustor and associated component arrangements were investigated. In general, internal reforming leads to higher system efficiencies. The optimum design pressure ratio varies among different system configurations. In particular, the design point selection is closely related to the allowable turbine inlet temperature. Configurations with direct heating of turbine inlet flow may realize both higher efficiency and higher specific power than those with indirect heating.

MCFC의 장수명화를 위해 기존의 Li$_2$CO$_3$-K$_2$CO$_3$계 전해질을 Li$_2$CO$_3$-$Na_2$CO$_3$계 용융탄산염으로 대체함으로써, 전지 수명을 단축시키는 NiO의 용출을 억제하고자하는 연구가 진행중에 있다. 이러한 대체 Li$_2$CO$_3$-$Na_2$CO$_3$ 전해질은 실제 전지에서 사용되고 있는 분리판 재료인 스테인레스강의 안정성에도 기존의 Li$_2$CO$_3$-K$_2$CO$_3$ 혼합염과는 다른 경향을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다.(중략)

Recently advanced countries are making every effort to promote the efficiency of electric power production and supply, to deal with the environmental problems, and to develop the new energy. In particular, they are driving forward to develop various technologies for electric power in mid-long term, that are technology for building infrastructure of power transportation, establishing service network for account management using electronic technologies, elevating economic productivity by innovative electronic technologies, control-ling the discharge of global warming gas, using clean efficient energy, and so forth. However, power technology of Korea lagged behind than technology of advanced countries. Also, resources for developing power technology are limited in our country. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of R&D investment. For it, our country must compare and analyze with technologies of advanced countries which are taking competitive advantage in the main future energy. Through comparative analysis, limited R&D resources of our country must be concentrated on technologies that can secure competitive advantage from now on.

This paper presents the development and testing of a power conditioning system(PCS) for application to a 100kW Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell(MCFC) generation system. The MCFC generation system is a part of a four year government funded research project that began in 2001. This paper presents the results of various tests and performance verification of the 100kW PCS using a DC power system that simulates the DC output of the MCFC fuel cell. Performance of the DC/DC, DC/AC converters were verified, and basic control functions such as grid connection, protection and characteristics of each components were tested. The tests were performed under light load and rated load conditions to verify the operation efficiency, power quality effects, and stability of the PCS.

외부개질형 MCFC 시스템에서 개질기는 시스템을 구성하는 주요장치 중의 하나이다. MCFC용 개질기는 연료전지 스택의 Anode와 Cathode에 수소 및 $CO_2$를 공급하는 역할을 담당해야 할 뿐 아니라 저발열량(500Kcal/N㎥)의 Anode 배가스를 개질반응의 열원으로 사용해야 하기 때문에 스택의 부하변화에 빠르게 대응할 수 있는 우수한 동적 응답특성이 요구되며, 열전달이 잘 이루어지는 소형이면서 간단한 구조를 가지고 있어야 한다. 이런 특징들이 MCFC용 개질기가 화학공업에 사용되는 통상의 개질기 즉, 정상상태에서 운전되는 단순한 수소공급 장치와 구별되는 중요한 차이점이며 설계시 고려해야할 제약조건이 된다.(중략)

A 100kW class stack consisting of 10 molten carbonate fuel cells has been fabricated. Internally manifold stack has been tested for endurance. Each cell in the stack had an electrode area of $100cm^2$ and reactant gases were distributed in each cells in a cross-flow configuration. Initial and long term operation performance of the stack was investgated as a function of gas utilization using a specially designed small scale stack test facility. It was possible to have a stack with an output of more than 100W using an anode gas of 72% $H_2/18%$ $CO_2/10%H_2O$ and cathode gas of 33% $O_2/67%$ $CO_2$ and 70% Air 30% $CO_2$. The output and voltage of the stack at a current 15A($150mA/cm^2$) and gas utilization of 0.4 showed 125.8W and 8.39V respectively by elapsed time of 310 hours operation. In long term operation characteristics, the voltage drop of 52.4mV/1000hour was observed after more than 1,840 hours operation. Among the voltage drop, the OCV loss was highest than other voltage loss such as internal resistance and electrode polarization. Non uniformity of 2voltages and degradation of cell voltage in the stack was observed in according to changing the utilization rate after a long term operation. Further work for increasing the performance prolonging the life of the stack are required.
