COAL MINI CHP PLANTS ON THE BASIS OF A GAS GENERATOR AND ELECTROCHEMICAL GENERATOR

Synthesis gas for electrochemical generator was produced in gas generator with automatic steam gasification of coal Borodino deposits.  The paper compiles the thermal balances battery of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and boiler, intended for production of superheated water vapor for a gas generator and heating the cathode air. On the base of these balances, the proportion of hydrogen, oxidized anode SOFC; electrical efficiency; the temperature in the anode; losses with flue gases and to the surroundings through the thermal insulation; fuel cell EMF were calculated. Moreover, it was determined unit cost of coal for the production of electrical and heat energy.
