Research progress in fuel cell combined heat and power technology
Fuel cell combined heat and power(CHP)is an energy supply technology that uses fuel cell power generation technology to supply electricity and heat to users.Two representative fuel cell CHP systems are introduced,namely proton exchange membrane fuel cell combined heat and power(PEMFC-CHP)and solid oxide fuel cell combined heat and power(SOFC-CHP).In order to obtain more efficient energy utilization as well as better durability levels,durability and system design issues need to be addressed to meet the commercialization requirements.The fuel cell CHP technology is summarized and prospected.
