Abstract

Abstract : Optimized integration of SOFC and gasification offers the potential for highly efficient electricity generation from renewable solid feedstock. In the presented integration approach heat pipes are used to transport heat from the SOFC to a biomass gasifier. Combined with further system optimization measures an electrical efficiency of 61.2% is achieved.
