Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation was to validate the feasible use of one of the currently available industrial gas turbine engines (i.e., the 200 kW C-200 engine of Capstone Turbines) in the hybrid fuel cell gas turbine test system for locomotive application. The National Fuel Cell Research Center (NFCRC) developed a full 500 kW dynamic computer model of hybrid fuel cell gas turbine system components for a test locomotive engine and demonstrated that the Capstone C-200 micro gas turbine integrated into a 500 kW hybrid solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine (SOFC-GT) system is a viable possible option for locomotive applications. In addition, a new MATLAB code was developed and applied to integrating the gas turbine with both a Bloom Energy 200 kW SOFC system and a Versa Power 400 kW SOFC system.
